Spray painting

(1/2) > >>

Well, got a new frame to paint but with this terrible cold weather not sure it will take.

Anyone else spraying at the moment ?

Anyone know how the cold weather would effect the paint even if the part is warmed first ?

I'm tempted to build myself a temporary spray booth/box and heat that .. anyone tried that ?

even if you warm the part and the paint, you could end up with the paint finish 'dulling' off ie, comes out with a nice gloss finish while wet, but goes almost hazy by the time it dries. at least, this is what i have found from my own experience.

Yup I agree, it will also run very easily as it doesn't instantly stick & dry when it hits the metal. Its a pain in da arse. I've been tempted to wack the heating up & try it in the lounge when the Mrs is out but she would'nt understand why....  :shocked:

I also find the paint cracks as it dries. Wouldnt advise it in this weather, unless you have a garage :daumenhoch:

But wouldn't the garage be cold aswell?

How about if you keep the frame and paint indoors so it is nice and warm, then bring it outside and paint quickly, before returning indoors to dry??
