Paint needs to dry to allow the solvents or water in it to evaporate, which helps the film to harden and adhere properly to the surface. Drying also facilitates the chemical reactions that occur in some types of paint, leading to better durability and finish. If paint does not dry properly, it can remain tacky, prone to smudging, or may not provide the desired aesthetic or protective qualities. Proper drying ensures a smooth, even coat and enhances the longevity of the paint job.
