does anyone know if about 30* F is too cold to prime parts of the car? i know its not advised to do body work in the cold due to shrinking/ expanding, but does the same apply for paint casuei would like to start priming some of my car today.

 

Yes it does and yes that is too cold to paint, if your using a spary can then check the back for their recommended temp usage

 

never thought of that...duh... thanks... man i really hate the winter i wanna work on my car soooo bad cause its finally back at my house.

 

Run a heater in your garage then, i used to do that when i was restoring my VW, just keep the back door open for some ventilation

 

trust me if i had a garage i would. besides it started snowing so now i gotta wait. it sucks cause it was beautiful outside for the 3 weeks i didnt have my car, now ive had it back for two days and haven't gotten **** done. cept 20% tints

 

well you said you don't have a garage so I'm thinking it wouldn't be a good idea for you to be painting at all because of the risk of debris messing it up no?

 

well im gunna prime the whole car in flat black for a while since its gunna take a few weeks for all the parts to come in. i have a sandable primer so any imperfections i can sand right out. ive primed plenty of cars when i used to work at the body shop but i never thought about the fact that thats indoors and i gotta do this outside.
