Painting over new drywall?

I've been remodeling my basement and I was wondering, how to wait after the final coat of plaster has been put on the drywall before I begin painting? Can I just wait for the grey colour to fade to white? or should I wait longer?Painting over new drywall?
Make sure the sanding is finished and then wait a day or two to start priming the walls.Painting over new drywall?
You have to Wait until it's white and really dry. Then you have to put a sealer on the new dry wall to make paint stick to it. They make a special paint just for this.If you do not your paint sometimes will peel off. Happy painting.
The fade to white is usually the key...........then prime it and paint it........good luck
