What are some quick drying paints for furniture?

Spraypaint

Do you have a spray rig? If so what kind?

No just a brush/roller

Just use spray paint then. The film thickness will be too high if you roll/brush and even with immaculate prep it is likely to be very easy to peel/lift the paint.

I’ll give that a try. Im guessing they make specific spray paints for furniture?

Any standard quality spray paint will be fine. Just prep the surface correctly. Is it painted or bare wood?

I would probably have used grain filler for light scratches but good wood putty should be fine. I would probably hit the bare wood with primer before the finish coat. Krylon as well as others have primer/paint combos that will be fine as well.

Note that dry times and cure times are two different things, with solvent-based paint like most spray can paint the cure time will be about 5-7 days where water-based or waterborne paint can take upwards of a month to cure. The point being don't put the furniture into normal use until the paint is fully cured.

Temperature in the are it’s being painted matters. The colder, the longer the dry time. Some of the chalk paints now are relatively quick to dry. You would need some type of sealant as a final coat. Rolling it will take the longest as someone else mentioned.

Definitely spray then a clear top coat. I’ve done tons of furniture and it’s lasted years.

Depends on what kind of look you’re going for but chalk paint.
