How long should I wait for the paint to dry before sanding and using the compound?
depends on the conditions of where it is drying, but 3-4 hours is probably enough I'd say. By the way make sure you wetsand it, not just sand it without any water/soap.

When it comes to the compound, rub it as hard and fast as you can, you want to create as much friction heat as possible in order to get the best result.
