What are the cons of shooting primer/base/clear in cold/freezing temperatures inside a normal 2-car garage?

What about running a big space heater or two at the same time...do you leave it on while painting? I understand you don't want any dust being kicked up by the "torpedo" type space heater (which is the type I have)

I just don't want my house or something to blow up while painting a car in a propane heated garage :D

 

the ratio of the mix will be different most of the standard mix are for a certain temp(75ish?)

read the spec sheet in the back

 

You'll have more to worry about runs when its cold.

 

buy some 220v 4000watt workspace heaters... get some thermometers... you should be ok

im shooting in my garage (with 2 1500watt space heaters and a propane heater i usually leave off)

it gets to about 14deg celcius and about 55% RH which is good enough to shoot in for sure

 

so you don't want to excessively heat your garage up (as in to "bake" the paint on?)

i don't have a thermostat, but my heater on the lowest setting gets my garage warm enough that i can work in a long sleeved shirt

 

Get it as warm as you can idealy. You need to mix your materials accordingly to temp. Basicly in a nutshell the colder it is the faster the reducer should be.

 

cold car = more runs. not fun

No true.

All you need to do is change your technique of spraying and use a fast reducer. Ive sprayed several cars in a cold garage without running it.

 

i got a run! check out my thread, im going to fix it some how... heh
