Painting and drying in the garage on a low humidity day is the right move. They will stick if you stack them, even with dry paint. No tricks here on painting, just a little advice… I would agree with you on the panels sticking if stacked.

Although the James Hardie website states that their factory primer can be top-coated within 180 days, most professional painters will tell you that a fresh coat of primer makes everything better because you just never really know how long ago the product was actually primed and how long it was hanging out at the factory before shipping.
James Hardie will ship your siding to you or your contractor, primed and ready to be painted. Pre-painting siding before installation is just plain faster and less expensive.The environment is controlled, without humidity and temperature concerns, so the results are always optimal (e.g., the sun isn’t baking on your paint faster than it should and the paint has the opportunity to penetrate the surface of the substrate.).You get a completely uniform finish because a machine does all the work AND the boards are placed on the rack horizontally for uniform spray and dry (the paint doesn’t run.).Paint coat thickness is calibrated and consistently applied according to the manufacturer’s specifications (something that is just not possible when painting by hand.).(Although Hardie Board comes from the factory without the back of the board primed, according to James Hardie’s support department, they say you can prime and paint the entire board.) All sides of the Hardie Board are painted (even the edges) and therefore the entire board is completely sealed.The key advantages of machine painting Hardie Board prior to installation: This is what James Hardie does at the factory and you can have this professionally done for you too. The best way to paint Hardie siding is to do it in a controlled environment before it’s installed on your home.
So you need to use a paint that’s engineered to work with masonry products. Fiber cement has a higher PH value (more alkaline), which means it can be very tough on the paint that covers it. Hardie fiber cement siding is an excellent product but has different properties than typical cedar siding. The obvious solution is to paint it, but before jumping on that train, it’s important to understand a few things about this product beforehand. When the color you want for your Hardie siding isn’t available In general, we find that most clients do honestly love the factory colors offered by James Hardie, but there are occasions where a client may want a very specific color that just isn’t available through James Hardie. James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology offers a beautiful array of warm, cool, and neutral colors, engineered to last, and designed to complement your home and your landscape.
