How long do I have to let the paint dry before I use mastic to adhere the
new ceramic tile?

Look on the paint can label. It will say "dries to touch...", "fully dry..." to
give you a clue. Whatever, the longer the better. Take a couple of days while
you're waiting and finish some other projects. HTH

Why don't you put 1/4" cement board up where you're going to tile?

I did but I butted it up against the greenboard on the bathroom walls. The
ceramic will overlap onto the mudded and painted areas.
