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.

the cheapest and easiest way to set one up is to use plastic sheeting everywhere possible. prep/ tape/ wash the car outside your booth, keeping all the dirt/ dust, etc out of there all together is the challenge. after the final wetsand/ wash, spray the floor down with water to keep dust settled and at a minimum. box fans are cheap, and have been used successfully. if it was me, i’d either find a place to prep the car, and hold off on paint until spring, or just hold off all together until spring.

x2 about heat lamps but if you have the right setup/paint and conditions you can still lay down a nice finish, if you do spray down the floor of where you will be painting, wait a full day for it to fully dry before you spray or else the water/humidity will end up on your paint. Also put the car on jackstands and take all 4 wheels off, or some guys run a chain to ground the car. Dont be discouraged if it comes out with orange peel, you can always cut and buff for a nice shine. Check out forums such as hotrodders and layitlow for some good info on painting and making booths.

They wont paint anything over 12 years old, you have to be a student and or faculty member.

A friend of mine is an alumni… was going to get acess and do my G20 there but its older than 12 years and wasnt registered in his name so they wouldent do it.

I also contacted the director of the program and talked to him over the phone and he told me the same thing.

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.
