I love the color and the result, but you really shoulda masked it like stated above.. I don't know if it could cause any real issues, but it seems safer to mask stuff like that when you paint it. 
And now we just need a picture of it installed.

you should have masked it man, it looks really good just if any feums get into the combustion chamber might back fire or would fire unevenly

i sprayed mine while it was still on the car. u should have taped it off like everyone else have said. hope u go threw and scrape paint off the areas that need gaskets or u going to have a sealing problem. is that heat paint??

What fumes? When the paint is dry there are no fumes at all. The paint won't do damage and in fact it might improve sealing on gasket surfaces. just install as is, don't worry about it.
