Paint dry time?
Just had all my tins painted!!
How long do i wait till i can start putting it back together?
I've heard wait till you cant Smell the Paint anymore!!! And just wait a day or two!!!!
Waiting for the rest of the powder coat to get finished then the bike will be at a whole nother level... I may have taken the BLACK out to the extreme !!!!

Was it baked or air dried? It may be still gassing off after 24hrs but as long as the painter used the products as per tech sheet, you should be able to put it together after 24hrs.

Your painter did not cure the paint enough, otherwise it would not smell. I would not bolt it on yet, all the pressure points will push the paint away causing it to lift! Do not lean the paint against the car seat for longer than a few minutes as it may leave an imprint on the paint surface!
I would put the parts outside under the sun to cure over the weekend.
To cure paint; you need heat (above 85F) and air movement.
At Colormania we bake all our paint jobs for 24 - 48 hours at very high temperatures (140F+). This form of Force Curing simulates 6 months of curing time under normal conditions. A costly process, but assures long-lasting shine & quality.
