When you get that one (breezy) 60F day in December, in St. Louis, and there are interior parts to get spray dyed!

I would think little to cold to at 60F to paint, anything. Most paint say not to be used below 70?

Thanks. SEM tech sheet says “For best results, use only when can temperature is approximately 70°F (21°C).”

We got to 66 and I kept the cans and each part inside until I was ready to spray. It sprayed well, I didn’t notice any difference in flash time, and all the parts came out great. Completely happy with the results.

Now…to find some time for reassembly!
