How It Works

Touch dry means you can lightly touch it. Recoat time means you can apply the next coat. Full cure means the paint is fully hardened and washable. Latex dries fastest (2-4 hours recoat). Cold temps and high humidity slow drying dramatically. Never paint below 50F. Full cure for latex is 30 days — avoid scrubbing painted walls before that.
