I am looking ahead and deciding how much painting to do in the next few months. It's still mid 90's here in western Colorado, but cooler temps are on the way and I haven't even started filler work yet. I would like to know how long I need to maintain a minimum temperature for each of these SPI products:
- Unreduced epoxy (65 degrees, 24 hours?)
- Reg Build 2K (60 degrees, 4 hours?)
- Reduced epoxy (sealer)
- Base coat
- Universal clear
I have a metal building with a paint booth inside it and the only heat source is a wood stove (don't worry, all fumes are exhausted to the outdoors so they don't even come close to the stove). So as I get into fall and winter, I don't have a good way of keeping the booth warm for very long after daylight. I won't be doing any painting in winter, but maybe into late Fall and early Winter. If the shop is getting down to 45 or lower overnight, I won't be doing any bodywork.
