Rustoleum Drying Times: A Comprehensive Guide

Rustoleum drying times vary based on factors like temperature, humidity, paint type, and thickness applied. Generally, spray paints touch dry in 20-30 minutes and are ready to handle in 1-2 hours. Rust-Oleum enamels and latex paints touch dry in 30-60 minutes and become recoatable in 2-4 hours. Specialty paints, like high-performance coatings, may require longer drying times. For optimal performance, allow sufficient time for each drying stage before subsequent painting or handling.
