i have a 24 by 24 metal garage i wanting to use a vent free propane heater to heat it but a body shop told me that i cant use it cause a propane heater lets off water into the air is this true if so what can i use to heat it up then turn it off to paint. Any help would be nice

 

I just wouldn't want to use a propane heater simply cause of the gas. That may cause fish eyes in your paint. If you do try it out, definitely heat up the garage first, let it chill for a little while, and just paint a panel and see what happens. Doesn't always hurt to try new things

 

Electric heat, rent a few.

 

use one of these


it runs off diesel, and you want to heat the shop up as well as get the metal of the car heated up, then turn the heater off right before you spray...me and my father in law painted my car and i dont even know how many cars hes painted during the winter doing this exact thing, and they come out flawless

 

Hey i have used those salimander kerosen heaters when i painted cars they work pretty good

 

what if i was to use heat lamps while i paint

 

your better off just using a heater to get the metal warm and turn it off while your spraying then if you want you can put your heat lamps over the car.
