Depends on the type of paint. If it is engine enamel then it would have instructions on drying times, usually 8 -12 hours. I usually paint an engine then leave it overnight and fit next day. |

Some engine paints are cured by the engine heat, so they stay a bit soft until they are run. You have to be careful when fitting them not to get greasy hand prints or solvents onto the soft paint. Tim |

I chuck the motor in as soon as the paint doesn't come off on my hands anymore - but then I'm usually in a hurry |

Sounds like a good assumption. |
