No. If it is latex paint you can usually put a second coat on in 30-60 minutes.
Yes, but check the instructions on the can. Sometimes you can do it much sooner.
Usually, but only because by the time it dries I don’t want to paint again. You will just want to make sure it is completely dry (not tacky to the touch at all).
I would say let it sit overnight before adding a second coat.
Read the instruction. The paint I used was ready for a second coat after two hours. Depends on where you live, too. I live where paint dries quickly. (I painted almost the whole interior walls of our house… 2 more rooms, though)
Nope. I usually wait 30 minutes to an hour depending on the dampness of the room I’m in.
yes I just painted mine, you should wait at “least” 24 or sometimes even 2 days (depending on the weather), if you don’t, you will get all this ”bubbles”, (may sure that if is really bad, you may need a coat of primer) good luck !
Check the can. Most latex based paints can take another coat within an hour or two.
If it’s extremely humid, though, I would give it some extra time. Generally, it’s fine to paint over as long as it’s no longer tacky/sticky to touch.
