.
You also have to consider what the curing from the paint will do to the plastic. I'd wait for a cured surface.

How do you know it's fully dry and hard?

Sorry, my fault for not being clear, i mean "dry to the touch" on the surface or whenever the paintshop allows it to be driven in the streets by the owner.

It depends on the paint, and the painter probably knows when the paint is done outgassing, but it can still be outgassing when you drive the car off. I'd just trust what your painter tells you.
