Finally got my stop tech rotors, performance pads and paint. Waking up early Saturday morning and taking on the task on painting my calipers and swapping out the OEM rotors for the new slotted StopTech ones and StopTech performance pads. Anyone know how long it takes for the black spray can paint takes to dry?

Does not take that long. Ask to move this to DIY, E60 Parts, Accessories and Mods, or general.

It doesn't take long, but I highly recommend you be patient and let the paint settle throughout the day. Just to be sure.

Wait at least 1 hr before re-installing wheel. It's best if you don't drive your car for another 18 hours to make sure that the paint is completely cured.
Good luck
