We have contractors painting the exterior of our house. The primer is on and they have begun putting on the final coat of the trim. The day they put the trim on, they were here only 2-3 hrs. They claimed they put 2 coats of paint on within that time frame. The can states to allow
4 hrs drying time between each coat. The painter stated that since it was 90 degrees that day, the paint dryed quickly. Personally, it was 78 degrees that day. We are sure of this because we have been closely watching the temperature. I want to make sure the preparation and painting is done properly. Is it common practice and is it still acceptable to put paint on so soon after the first coat? The last time we had the house painted we were burned big time.- posted
