On average, wet-on-wet painting (as part of interior painting) takes 4.59 hours, based on 31 jobs. Small areas can be quicker, while larger surfaces or multiple coats will take longer.

Prep work matters too—degreasing, sanding, and masking often make up a significant part of the total time.

With wet-on-wet painting, the professional works into the paint while it’s still wet to achieve a smooth, even finish without visible lap marks. The job usually includes:

1) Inspection & preparation
Checking the surface, making the area workable, and protecting floors and furniture with covering materials.

2) Cleaning, degreasing & sanding
Cleaning/degreasing for proper adhesion, plus light sanding where needed and minor touch-ups of small imperfections.

3) Masking for clean lines
Carefully masking edges, skirting boards, frames, sockets, or hardware for a neat finish.

4) (If needed) priming
Applying a suitable primer/undercoat if the surface is uneven or highly absorbent.

5) Wet-on-wet application
Applying the paint and working continuously while it’s still wet so sections blend seamlessly and dry evenly.

6) Final check & clean-up
Inspecting the result, removing tape, and leaving the area tidy.
