Spray painting

<< < (2/2)

Way way way to cold atm, your paint won't adhere to the frame, unless you have a heated garage leave it for a couple of weeks until this cold spell passes.

meticulous:
just sprayed a dark green door on a previa today and it was like glass when i finished, it must of been about minus 2-3......    ;)

ratty67vw:
if your painting with rattle cans or cellulose paint leave it till it gets warm or the paint will bloom (go white )
 if you useing automotive 2 pack paint them work away (not that you should be useing 2 pack paint at home )

paulski1966:
If you are desperate to spray it now you can also keep the frame somewhere warm then use a hairdryer to dry the paint as you go, i've done this before and it works, but to be honest I'd wait until it warms up as using a dryer will blow more dust and crap into the paint unless you are somewhere very clean. If you are using 2 pack you can get cold weather hardener, however if it's stupid cold the paint will still take a long while to set.
