I painted the floor of my van over the xmas break (a few years ago now) and it took a week to cure. I would, if possible, put it off to easter holls or, ideally, the summer if I did it again.

When using  Protectakote you need to add a paint hardiner, stir it well, will be dry ready for another coat  in two hours, then leave over night.
For best results dull the van paint by sanding.

we did one of ours years ago had to put a oil rad in it over night and it still wasnt 100% dry after 9 hours so be carefull i dont like the stuff found it a mess to clean when dirty but looks good  when done heres one of ours from 2008 we glossed the sides which you can just wipe down
