I'm painting brand new hardiPlank fiber-cement siding. How long after a good rain, should I wait to avoid painting over and trapping moisture in the siding? If I got good sun all morning, could I start around noon? Or does it take a few days of good sun todry it out?
Thanks in advance!

Minimum 24 hours. Contact the manufacturer on their drying time. Make sure you use latex paint.

It depends more on the humidity, In Arizona a couple hours.
In South Carolina, a couple days.
