My car is at the body shop right now having a few things done and parts of it are being painted. Someone told me that when a car is painted in colder temperatures that the paint doesn't cure right? Is this true?

 

just takes longer to cure, but if you go to a good shop they have plenty of lights in their booth to cure your car just fine.

 

so the heat from the lights is what cures it?

 

youre only suppose to paint at a certain temperature. if this shop your car is at doesnt have a heater and thermostat, then i wouldnt of taken my car there.

 

If I was you I would garage the car for at least a week or two. Make sure the garage says above 50 if not your paint might go bad faster in the long run. But If you can just don't drive it. And everyday get in the car and start it up to get the heat around the body.
