How long do you have to wait before putting another coat of paint on a wall?

It all depends on the paint and the climate du jour where you are painting. If humid it will need longer. However, under all circumstances I normally wait about an hour. This isn't enough time to hang pictures or anything like that, but should be enough for a second coat.How long do you have to wait before putting another coat of paint on a wall?
Wait until it is dry. It depends on how thick you applied it how long that will take.How long do you have to wait before putting another coat of paint on a wall?
Try looking on the back of your paint can ...it should tell you how long to wait between coats. If it's not there or you have painted over it ...I'd say wait at least a minimum of 24 hours.
Read the directions on the can; the longest drying time would be 24 hours the shortest about 2 hours; Depends on the paint.
Depending on your weather conditions - dry to the touch which is usually about 3 hours (we're talking water base paint)
