Painting closet - how long before putting things back in?

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

We have taken out a closet organization system to install new baseboards and to paint the walls. How long after the last coat of paint can the organization system be put back together? We have closet contents in several other rooms of the house at the moment. I know that it can take a month for paint to cure - but wondering if I should wait this long to put it all back together? Any experience with this would be much appreciated.

Once the paint is fully dry (a couple of hours) is fine to put things back. The only difference between then and paint being fully cured would be minimal. Harder paint and more washable if marks on it. Good paint can touch up nice on fresh new coatings so you will be fine to put things back.
