All paints go through the same stages once they have been applied. They are wet, before becoming touch dry and finally completely dry which is also known as cured. When it comes to interior design, the right paint colour can make all the difference. With Crown’s Grey paint, you can beautify your walls, ceilings, wood, and metal surfaces with ease. From marvelous matts to soft silks, and sophisticated satins to gorgeous glosses, your interiors have never looked so good. An oil-based paint – which can include the best gloss paint– takes longer to become touch dry and recoatable compared with a water-based paint, but is fully cured in much less time, typically three to seven days. How do you know when paint is dry? Our Grey paint comes in a range of sumptuous shades that help create a calming and sophisticated atmosphere within the home. From cool and contemporary to warm and inviting, Crown’s Grey paints are made to suit any style and taste. With 72 shades of Grey to choose from in various, high-quality formulations, you’re bound to find the perfect paint colour for your project.

Tough dry and recoat times are different to completely dry — aka fully cured. For example, a chalk paint can be touch dry within an hour and recoatable within two hours, but it can take up to three weeks for it to be completely dry and hardened.
