Hey guys,
This may be a silly question, but how cold is too cold to paint?
I'd like to get just a little more done on my project this fall.. Our daytime highs look to be around 50-60 and night time lows 30 to 40..
I usually won't be able to spray until early evening.. I'm worried it'll get too cold at night and affect the paint.. I do not have a heated shop. Are my worries valid?
If it matters, I'm using PPG paint.. I'd have to look at the spec sheet again to say exactly what it is (just because I always recall incorrectly)
I know I don't have enough fair weather left to complete all my painting, but sure would be great if I could still get the engine and a few other loose parts painted so I can assemble the tractor (shy of the tinwork) and free up floor space to put things inside for the winter, and gain usefulness of my shop again.
Any advise is appreciated.
Brad
