Optimal Timing for a Flawless Finish: Mastering the Wait after Primer

Painting a room or piece of furniture can be a rewarding DIY project, but ensuring the perfect finish requires careful attention to the priming and painting process.

When it comes to the critical step of painting after primer application, timing is of the essence.

The general rule of thumb is to wait 24-48 hours before applying the first coat of paint over a freshly primed surface.

This allows the primer sufficient time to fully dry and cure, creating an optimal bonding surface for the topcoat.

Rushing this step can lead to a number of issues, such as paint peeling, blistering, or an uneven finish. - https://perfectpaintpro.com/blog/how-long-to-paint-after-primer/?unique_id_j2kxmywo
