Ive been seeing a lot of post asking about the temps needed to shoot so as im heating up the shop here on this snowy 10 degree day I thought Ide share some info.
Im going to be spraying a 21 window vw bus today so I have the temp cranked up to about 80. Now that the shop is up to temp I got out my non-contact thermometer, a must have for everyone.
The air temp is a toasty 78 in the booth, so im good to shoot right? WRONG
well the metal temp on the roof of the bus is 69 so now im good to shoot right? Wrong again
I get down and measure the temp on the rocker panels... 57 degrees
Just a little food for thought for all the people having problems in cold temps who claim they keep the booth air temp above 60. Air temp vs metal temp is huge and cold air sinks so make sure the whole car is up to temp not just the hood. I hope this helps some people
