How long should I wait to paint over Green Stuffed models?

I say 24 hours. Another thing to note is that GS never truly hardens. It's always a tiny bit putty-ish even when it's "fully dried," so spray paint helps that. I'm assuming you were going to prime them anyway, but I was just throwing that out there.

Assuming you are gap filling and not actually sculpting details, 2-3 hours should be fine. If you are sculpting details, I'd leave the GS about 8 hours before painting, if I'm in a rush, or upto a day if not.

Also, GS does cure completely (as long as it has been mixed fully). It can retain a certain amount of elasticity dependent on the mix (more yellow in the mix will make it more flexible, more blue will make it stiffer), but it will completely cure off in around 24 hours.

Hope that helps

^All I'm saying is that even when it's cured, it's still slightly movable. It's not rock solid. But don't worry about that, it shouldn't be a problem.
