You can drive on them within a couple of hours. There's no reason to wait unless you plan on driving on dirt roads or what not. The parts of the caliper that you want to keep paint on, don't move. Just try to keep it to short trips with minimal braking while the paint is drying so as to minimize heat and brake dust.
