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 |

The paints I use, 65F is about a low as you can go and be in the recommended range of the reducers and activators. Going much below that you run into problems with the paints not flashing quick enough between coats. When painting a car you want as many things going in your favor as possible, and try to control the variables. IMO with the high prices for good paints now days you don't want to take any more risk then you have to.
