To get the smell of paint (or any odors) out of a room just put some vinegar into a small bowl, cup, glass or pan and set into the corners of the room (out of the way of children or pets). Leave in place for a couple of days, then dump that vinegar out and repeat the process. Hopefully after a week or so, the smell has gone. If not repeat until it does. Also, before painting, put a tablespoonful of vanilla flavoring into the paint and mix well. It is supposed to take the strong paint smell away without changing the color of the paint.

Apply a second coat without further waiting, of fresher paint as posted, and please ask the paint supplier what to expect in the way of odor and how long it normally persists. I never painted a room that could be slept in any sooner than a week or more.
