Default painted my ls6 intake

my question is how long should i wait before i install it? i've seen a few threads saying 24 hours, 2 days, and i've even seen some saying to wait 7 days.

here is how i painted it.

sanded/scuffed it up a bit
a few coats of adhesion promoter
3-4 coats of primer
let it dry over night
4 coats of base
4-5 coats of clear (engine enamel high temp w/ceramic base)

and its drying right now.






thx for the tips
