I used rustoleum black lacquer on a rocking chair. I have overspray that needs to be compounded out but I keep getting more scratches and rubbing off the sheen and having to re-spray & more overspray. How long should I let it sit to cure so I don’t keep getting the fine scratches and rubbing off the sheen?

Sounds like you need to arrange your spraying so you don't get overspray landing where it shouldn't. This may require spraying in parts, such as the back rungs with the seat masked off, and vice versa. You know what areas need to be shielded.
If you have an abrasive that can remove the overspray, it will also make scratches and have an effect on the sheen. There isn't a time frame that will allow you to abraid the overspray without abraiding the other. The remedy for this is to use finer and finer abrasives until you have made the scratches so small that you have a gloss (or what ever you want) sheen again. You very well may need to rub out the entire surface with your finest level of polishing compound to make the sheen uniform.
