Doesn't that need to be cured for 24 hours before driving?

That's what I got, too.
But the problem is I need to buy 2 pairs of jackstand
I'll paint my caliper this weekend, too.
I'm thinking about purple. Any objection? J/K
I already got the paint kit in RED, and BMW logo.

Tony (quad_m),
How ///M brake caliper sticker look like?
