How long should I leave repaired render to cure before paint

[trickytjm66]

Hi

I have just repaired some cracked areas of render on the outside of my house (using cement:sand mix) and now want to paint the repaired sections along with the rest of the house with Dulux Weathershield paint.

The cracked areas where raked out to about 10mm depth before being repaired so I would like some advice on how long I should leave it to cure before painting?

Thanks in advance

It should be ok to paint after 4 or 5 days.

How did you repair the cracks? Did you mesh over them?
