Default Brakes rubbing rotor

I painted my calipers and took them off to clean the rotors. I put the calipers back on and now i think the brake pads might be rubbing against the rotor a while i drive it. Instead of taking the calipers apart again should i just leave it and let the brake dual a little bit or should i just try and take them apart again?

You'll want to know how much they're rubbing. After driving for a bit, stop and check wheel temp. If it's too hot to touch, calipers are probably stuck and need a rebuild.

Might have a frozen slide pin. If they're rubbing bad and getting hot, you don't wanna drive it far or you'll risk warping the rotors.
