Spraying in winter

[Daz82]

Whats the best way to do it? And where?

 

Ususally I do it in the garage so the fumes don't fill the house but its way too cold for the paint drying stage..

 

I don't want to ruin my new shell!

 

Thanks

Mhhh, depends a bit how fanatical you are,

i spray in the kitchen, in a dedicated "box" , the floor & wall covered with bin bags.

But, i must say, the kitchen is on the list for full renovation/rebuild so i could not

care less for a bit of overspray on the floor or wall.

I do spray a bit of spray on the floor, so a cloth takes away the overspray , and , leaves a shiny

surface after

Smell?  when done, i open up a window....

 

But, i can imagine this is not a workeble way for everyone, most likely the people that lives with other people

under one roof

Daz, throw some paint at it in the garage, then bring it indoors to dry?

[Daz82]

Not a bad thought!

 

I don't want to get anything on it though when I transfer it to the house

When its cold , and i want to paint , i spray my shells in my shed , i have been known to warm the air in the shed with a heat gun first .Once sprayed , i leave it in there for a couple of minutes ,to slightly harden ,then transfer the painting table , with a card shield around it, into the house, thus preventing anything being dropped or blown onto it .Be careful if the outside temp is too low as the paint will bloom, similarly if it is cold and you bring it in doors to the warm you may find it looks like it has bloomed ,but this should only be the temperature change forming on the shell ,this should disappear as the shell reaches your room temperature, dont make the room too hot as it doesn't need to be .And if you spray in a shed or garage,make sure there are not cobwebs ,dust etc near or above your spraying area- works for me  []

if you spray somewhere cold, there is a chance that the air will be damp too, and you will get a misty affect.  Just shut the garage door and get a heater/blower in there.  I assume you are using cans?

I have done some spraying in the bathroom latly. If you tape up everything with newspaper or plastic you can do it anny where, but I fin the bathroom suitable because it gott heat in the floors and a good outblowing fan. I keep the door closed and after I am finished. I usually let it dry for 30 min, before I move the body to the celler or somthing to let it herd for a good long rest. After I have taken a shower, almost all the spray paint smell are gone. When painting PS paints indoor, I would sugest a small dust mask.
