Painting newly plastered garage walls

yop

Folks
I am not sure if skim is the same as mortar, but with regards my shed inside, I plastered it there, single coat of plaster about 10 days ago.
What is the earliest I can paint it? I presume a watered down coat and then a full coat.

Its just a garage where my workshop, car garage is.

Thanks

Rule of thumb is 1 day per 1mm.

Is it blotchy or all uniform in colour?

I would go for the watered down coat and then full coat like you describe.

It wouldn't be uniform, but that could be down to my "delboy" mixes too
I am no pro plasterer but know enough to get the garage walls done

The 1st wall I did has been done 18 days. The last wall has been done 12 days.

Probably ok to paint.

Are there any obvious damp spots on the walls (darker patches than the rest?)
