Default VHT wrinkle red question

i bought a can planning on repainting my valve cover, it says allow 5 days without tampering with what you painted, how long should i let my valve cover dry before re-installing it, also should i bake it in the oven to speed it up?

I put mine on 2 days later with no issues, the VHT paint stayed soft for almost a day and a half. Here is a pic dont mind the blue intake i need to paint it black.

Thanks, I didnt bake mine just let it dry normally it was also cool outside not hot, however if u pop it in the over im sure it would dry faster... however i would wait a full day b4 doing so since the drying process is what makes it wrinkle.

PS that DOHC cover looks just like my girls GSR cover i did in the same paint a few months back
