7 days is really really long, mine said wait 24 hours, i thought that was a long time. i say go for it. 3 days is PLENTY of time for the stuff to dry. it should be fine.

Unless you used oil paint it should have dried and settled in by now. What did you use that said to wait 7 days?

try touching the back part of the caliper and see if its dry or if it smudges or smears. I would say you are good to go though, especially if its been out in the sun.
