My valve cover, fuse box, and various caps are drying right now in the garage. I gave them three coats. How long should I wait to throw them back on?

Just paint it with a few light coats, and put it back in the engine bay, start your engine and go for a ride around town, no paint job comes out better than a baked on one. How do you think they dry the paint thats on the outside of your car????
