24 hours is usually the minimum recommendation 3 days is better, but if it's your only shower, that's a toughie Overnight can be done, but depending on conditions and paint brand/type, and how long/hot the showers are, and how much ventilation you've got in there, you could be pushing it What paint did you use? |

 Boy, that would rot... Actually we recommend 24 hours for oil, and even though latex dries faster, the longer it cures the less chance of "surfactants" leeching to the surface. A couple of days is better if you can. Rule of thumb: When your stink is worse that the paint fumes, ummm, it's ok to use the shower...
