But since there were a few spots that needed a bit more paint, we decided to give the entire thing another coat for full coverage. And by the time we were done with the first coat, the place where we had started painting was already dry. We were able to start at the top right away. Both coats took about an hour or hour an a half TOTAL. Painting The Inside The double formula for interior and exterior use adds versatility. With a coverage of up to 9m²/litre, a tin of paint goes a long way.
