I spray the gong and by the time i get back to fp it is dry do not use enamel it takes over an hour for it to dry

Perhaps a flat grey? They are hardy and will go on pretty much anything. Export do a cheap version called 'machine grey' which may help.

I prefer to paint them after a session so they will be dry by the time I want to shoot them again. I like to go up and see and photograph the targets close range afterwards so it makes sense to paint them then. When I feel the urge to do some shooting I don't want to mess about with targets
Yes, the enamel is pretty much 24-hour dry time.

It's cheap, covers fast, dries fast, is a good mat finish.

Take a thermos or bucket of hot water. Just out of the tap, nothing special. Throw the cans in a few minutes before paint time, give 'em a good shake when you're ready and you're all set.
I've done this a bunch when I'm in a bind for basic paint projects and its still 5'C outside. Cans won't work until they're at least lukewarm to the touch, damn things.
