you can paint in temps like that if you use good paint and use the right hardener and reducer to match the temp

Truth

Whipped together most of my makeshift paint booth today

Going to wrap it in plastic tomorrow:



Finally finished with all the metal prep. Phew, that sucked. I still have to strip a couple items and fill the little dents in the tank, then etch the metal.
Thanks to Mechwerks for the tip about getting the metal etch for cheaper at Home Depot:



Got some of the paint, still need the silver and clear.



And here's most of what's waiting for paint, more little things here and there, but this is the majority of it. Now I just need it to warm up at least a little bit around here!



One of these days the bike will actually be done, I swear it!

is that a paint booth.
you shoulda just built a little oven big enough for the frame and powder coated that bitch.
you can get the powder coating gun setup for a little over 100.
and the oven woulda been easier to build than that big old building you constructed inside your garage.
but still, its tight. good job.

heres a quick diagram of how to build it. i had the idea just never built it so if you do build it
you'll be the first. theoretically it should work fine. spray the powder and bake it on.
