Has anyone used a radiant heater for painting in the cold weather?
My current options are a wood stove or a salamander heater. Those both have open flames, so I think that might be a bad thing. Any suggestions aside from waiting? I need to repair and paint a car prior to Hershey and it won't be a stable temp until may in my area.... Rich |

I will throw this up for you to read until Scotty and the other experts wake up and chime in. The hardeners or catalyst for your paint can be tailored to the temperature. So you should ask the supplier what ranges they can provide. I'm guessing high 60's in your garage would be the minimum.
