Many paint shops now use a high temperature bake oven to dry the paint quicker, more completely and to get the car out of the shop. If you are leaving the vinyl top on, I would instruct them to limit the heat it will be exposed to. It is better to have it sit for a couple of extra days while it dries in a moderate temperature (like in the shop).
EDIT: PS - Do not forget to give them parts like the air doors to paint at the same time and with the same batch of paint, like with the fenders in the case of those doors.Gary L.

Is there a reason for removing the windows? Do you want your black interior oversprayed with red paint?RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

Though this paint job will most likely cure, and not dry.
