|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK (400 sqft) | 2–4 days | 4–7 days | 2–3 painters |
| 2 BHK (700 sqft) | 4–6 days | 7–10 days | 3–4 painters |
| 3 BHK (1,000 sqft) | 6–9 days | 10–14 days | 4–5 painters |

💡
Drying Time
Do not rush. Putty needs 24 hrs drying, primer needs 4 hrs, each paint coat needs 4–6 hrs before next coat. Rushing causes peeling within 6–12 months. Avoid painting in heavy rain or humidity above 85%.
