Most projects need 1-2 coats for solid, opaque coverage, though 2-3 coats may be needed over dark or heavily textured surfaces. Apply thin, even coats and let each one dry before adding the next. Paint dries to the touch in about 20-30 minutes under normal conditions, and reaches a full cure in roughly 24 hours (up to 24-72 hours for thicker applications or in high humidity).
