Shoot! Pictures in the next few days.

Absolutely go with at least 30 days, more is better, the longer it cures the better it will look longer. I have a friend that is an expert painter and he always advocates letting paint cure longer if you want it to be tough, look good and last.

Patience grasshopper.
