How Long Does It Take For Paint To Dry Completely?

How long does paint take to dry? This is a common question that everyone wants to know. The time taken to dry the paint depends on whether oil-based or water-based paint is used. We often apply a matt emulsion, which is a water-based paint, to our interior walls and ceilings. A second coat can be applied after about three hours, and they typically take a few hours to dry.

The application of a second coat of oil-based paint, however, should be delayed for at least twenty-four hours and may take up to eight hours. The durability of these paints is increased by the use of resin and natural oils like linseed oil. Hence, avoid painting during the summer's heat. Paint may dry too quickly at high temperatures, leading to blistering or peeling.
