It's beautiful outside!

I'm going to be degreasing with brake cleaner.

How long do I have to wait to paint?

TIA!

If the parts have lots of places for the brake cleaner to hide, I would suggest baking the parts or putting a heater on them for a while.  I did an AR once and did not cook the brake cleaner out of the crevices.  I painted it up and then oops, out came the BC.

Otherwise, you can watch it evaporate off of solid parts.

That stuff usually evaporates really quickly. A regular hairdryer will speed it up and get in the cracks.
