Avoid applying peel and stick products to freshly painted walls immediately. It's best to wait at least 3 to 4 weeks after painting for the walls to cure fully. This ensures the adhesive can bond effectively, reducing the risk of damage to the paint. Test a small area first to ensure compatibility. Patience in allowing paint to dry and cure not only protects the wall but also enhances the longevity and adherence of peel and stick items.
