Default Caliper paint question

Hey. I have the dupli color paint kit which says that I have to wait 24 hrs for the paint to cure before I drive. I was going to paint them at a friends garage and let them dry for a while then drive home. You guys know if this will cause any problems.Do I really need to let it dry for 24 hrs before driving?My friends house is about 10 miles away so I thought it would be ok to drive that short distance. Thanks.

I painted mine with the sme kit. I drove about an hour after mine were done and there is no problems. The caliper paint dries incredibly fast and PS- be careful of gettin on ur hands or clothes, reallllllllly hard to get off

I'd definately go with black. Red or white just wouldn't look right.

Black. I have the same color car and am going black. I also bought some whitehigh temp stickers to put on the caliper after the paint dries.
