you say not bad b/c if more people do this mod then there will be less people buying your products?

I don't recommend the hair dryer unless you are in a paint booth - the hair dryer will suck things out of the air and force them in to your paint... Spray the item and set it inside a box and close it... and never do it outside...

+1 there. Also the hair dryer may not allow the paint/clear coat to dry uniformally and give you cracking. It may also put runs in the paint.

I prefer the 5 - 10 min dry time. Takes longer, but the paint should dry more uniform.
