I had to make a phone call to the manufacturer to ask why the top coat was bubbling over the same manufacturer's primer coat, and was informed that the top coat MUST be applied within a very short time after the primer dries (I had waited two days). I've painted multiple motorcycles over the years, and always thought that waiting for the primer to dry thoroughly (I usually waited at least a full day, or two) was a good idea. This used to work for me, but evidently it doesn't work anymore.hmmmm, I'm skeptical of the advice you got.....I'm no pro but I've done alot of painting , cars and motorcycles... and letting a primer coat cure is a good idea, so long as it is decontaminated properly before shooting a base coat......JMHO
BTW, you do need to shoot your clear coat within some hours of the base coat (depending some on painting or laying decals etc)
