No. Depends on the primer and the local environment. Is this an April 1
post?

Not April fools at all. Why would the type of primer matter? Does the 4 days
seem to short/long? Local enviro is Mass. When I did my second floor I
waited almost 30days, simply because there were a lot of other things going
on. This is my first floor bath, anxious to get it back to working order.

I think some primers or paints might recommend 30 days .. I am sure I
have seen that advice on labels.

Sorry Brian ... I am jaded.

The type of primer matters because there are two basic bases: oil and
water/latex.

Get yourself to a good paint store and get their recommendations.

Water based (latex) primer could be OK at this point in time.

There is some really bad information offered forth on this group, by the
way.

Go to a good paint store!
