The colour of your paint can influence drying times: darker, glossier colors with lots of pigmentation take longer to cure than a light-colored, flatter paint color. Apply your paint in two or more thin, even coats. This helps the paint dry faster between coats. You should allow about 2 hours for the paint to dry. Air movements help the paint dry and cure faster so keep the room as ventilated as possible. If the humidity is high in your home, consider placing an air conditioner or use a dehumidifier.
