Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the paint stayed soft for some time. Although darker colors can take longer to cure and dry, it is not normal for the coating to stay soft too long. The paint will fully cure in about 30 days, however, lower temperatures and higher humidity can also slow down the dry time. We appreciate your feedback, and if you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly. Our Customer Care team is happy to help! -Giovanna
