How long does it take for acrylic paint to dry?
Depending on application of layers, a thin coat will usually dry in 10-30 minutes. We recommend waiting for your paint to dry completely to the touch before applying a new coat or layer to help get even strokes and prevent color blending. You may also use a hair dryer on low heat to speed up dry time.
