Is there anyway to paint when its below 70?

[kalebarellano]

It has been around 60-65 for like the last few days here in central florida. It was like 75 or 80 or something two days before I got my paint to paint my frame, but of course it has to get cold when I get the paint. But is there anyway to paint when its below 70? Or should I just wait until the temp. comes up?

Thanks

I paint when its zero sometimes. Just have to spray really thin layers so it dont run.

if its 60-65 you should be fine I normally paint when its 50-55 and sometimes even colder than that. Id say go for it,

Ok, when I get back home, I am going to go ahead and get the frame sand blasted, and start painting.

use some cold weather reducer when you thin the paint.

this is in my dads words, "I dont recommend, heres why, first coat doesnt dry properly, then when u put ur second coat, the first coat still has not dried, it will chip easily, i recommend using a good product such as, PPG or DuPont use a fast drying reducer and wait till it turns at least 70 degrees."

get a propane heater thing that screws on to the top of the tank then put it in the garage let it get to about 70 and there ya go. Thats what i do:;)
