Well, here's what we do:
1. After sanding, clean the walls with a moist - not wet - cloth. HEPA vac sometimes too. We wait 3 hours - or a good lunch.
2. B-M "Fresh Start"...expensive and may be overkill, but has done us proud in a number of different situations/substrates/finish paints/sheens.
3. Sometimes we start painting in as little as 6 hours but we prefer overnight prime-to-paint. I've seen as little as 3 hours...
4. Depends on what finish paint you use but a latex paint is fully cured in about a week. Your tape selection is critical however...
Others may differ - but this is close.
