Paint takes about 15-30 minutes to dry in between layers. After job is done it would take about a day to fully air dry. Same as a car that is painted, you wouldn’t want to drive it right off the lot immediately after its done.

The difference between “flat” paints and regular is quite simple, regular paints provide a gloss like finish where Flat paints are matte and have no shine.

How do I paint the mesh such as sockliners, laces, or tongue?
In order to paint sock liner or any mesh/nylon areas we recommend mixing Angelus paints with Angelus 2-Soft. Mixing Angelus Paint with 2-Soft in a 1:1 ratio will give the best results. The fabric/mesh will need to be heat-set after the paint has dried in order to keep the material nice and soft.

Please make sure that your layers are fully dry between layers. If not, the tackiness may occur if the layers have not cured. The tacky feel should go away over time. On FAUX leather surfaces, it tends to stay longer. We recommend a very light sanding with a 1000+ grit. This will not compromise the texture or paint on your project.
The paint is naturally abrasion resistant to a point but to protect from extra scuffs and scratches be sure to apply Angelus 4-coat to your work when done.
