Allow the first coat of paint to dry for approximately two hours. After the recommended drying time, apply the second and final coat of paint. Repeat the same application technique: use an angled paintbrush for cutting in around edges, corners, and within the grooves, and then use the small paint roller for the larger, flat surfaces.
