> your paint job will always be “sub-par” without heat lamps to cure the paint properly. don’t get me wrong, decent results have been achieved, but not having the proper curing properties really throws a wrench in your work. the paint will react much differently in this weather. you can shoot primer outside now, no problem, but i wouldn’t go for paint until spring, as my 3 series will.

Without using a booth that is heated or has heat-lamps, the paint will cure from the panel up and flash evenly. Using heat and or heat lamps will dry the paint from the paint down to the panel. If I was painting something of my own and had some time, it would air dry fo sho.
