As soon as it is safe to wash it. I don't know if there is a curing time for single stage paint that prohibits cleaning it for a while. My goal is to have a usable truck, so mudding is part of the fun. 
The downside is that I don't have mudding tires for it.

curing time is the same as multi stage paint it's the layers that have to cure primer first coat ext. ext . 45 to 90 days total cure time. after 30 days can be washed with water and mild soap i just went through all this 6 months ago it sucked

If I painted it camo, then no one would be able to see it.
I want to be seen driving this down the road for safety reasons. My truck has manual steering and brakes. I want everyone to see me so we don't have to rely on them.
There is a 70's highboy in Vallejo that is hand painted camo (kind of neat looking) and a late 90's f250 4X4 lifted and professionally painted camo. I was happy to drive by it this morning and see it is covered with mud. He is using his truck.

Nothing better than messing about in a Ford.

Dan- Remember that you worked on trying to get the horns working when we did the cab swap? They still work about as well as then. I guess I had better go with the cattle (battle) bumper!
