Don't you think if I could read the instructions on the can, I would? Geez, you guys think that everyone that asks questions on here is an idiot or something. Paint dripped down the sides of the can.

Drying time varies with paints and the weather, but any where from 4 to 6 hours will usually do it. Feel your paint in an inconspicuous place and then you know for sure. Hope this helps.

If you are using latex paint (water base) then you only need to wait about 1 hour for it to dry and cure. Once it is dry to the touch you can put another coat on. If you are using oil paint you need to wait until the next day so it will cure enough it won't pull off when you put a second coat.

If it is flat latex, 30 minutes to the touch and 2-4 hours for complete dryness. The higher the sheen, the longer it will take to dry. Wait 2 hours before recoating.

A good hour, but then again it depends on how thick the paint and surface is.
