Pumpkins need AT LEAST 24 hours to dry. The amount of paint going on is excessive and it needs plenty of time to dry before continuing the final steps.

Once your pumpkin has had 12-24 hours to dry spray the whole pumpkin with clear acrylic sealer to keep your pumpkin pretty and give it a nice luster finish.
