new valve cover

[DeNoZZo]

My old valve cover had a crack in it and leaked. So i baught a new one from a friend, repainted it and slapped it on. How long before I can drive it? Paint feels dry, but it's still a little soft. Also, the primer I used from advanced auto didn't say heat resistant anywhere on it, but the glossly top layer paint did. Should I worry about it melting?
Here it is before

no reason not to just go drive it.

My only concern was the valve cover getting hot with the paint not completely dry.

What's the temp outside? What paint did you use? It shouldn't still be wet if you painted it properly.

a days wait time is enough how long the paint last will be on how well you preped

its dry now, It was just a little soft earlier on some sections. I only painted it about 4 hours ago.

If you used the metallic red from duplicolor, it is going to fade. I have painted a few of them and all of them faded to an orange. For some weird reason the green and purple held up fine. Also, I let them dry for 1 week just like the back of the can directed.
