In most cases silk paint is touch dry in around 1-2 hours. If applying further coats we advise leaving around 3-4 hours.
For optimum results we advise applying around 2-3 coats to your chosen surface. Once you have applied your first 2 coats and have allowed it to dry, take a look to see if the old paint is showing through, if this is still the case then apply a 3rd coat.
