+1 'tis a bit cold at the mo though
Yeah you are not wrong I've been lucky to have mine in a marquee and one of those industrial gas blower heaters so nice and warm.

Yeah, even if I had a heater I haven't even got room for it where I'm spraying
Got brothers to do while it's in bits but at about 5degrees in the shed I'm not so sure how it'll come out.

Very nice bet that doesn't see much green laning with those windows.

This is what I done mine in 12m X 3m gazebo (£50 ebay) lucky I've got the space on my farm really.

Aye, but you know what my neighbours are like
So I'm trying to do it as far away from them as possible (in the shed) and theirs no room at all

Aye, but when you're an impatient c*nt like me, I've got to try
Mainly because I want to do it before it goes back together, but at 5-6degrees I'm rather concerned.
Coldest I've done it before is 10ish, which came out good.
Worst case is I do one panel, it looks ****'e and I have to do it again when it's warmer.

The only thing I have had to paint in the cold was the bonnet and has come out great as I had a small heater on during the night to cure the paint everything else was done whilst it was warm.

What sort of paint did you use? some paint will actually be fine done in the cold. I once wanted to tidy up my bonnet so painted it outside one December morning just to get it sorted until the proper respray I was going to do that summer, that did very well for years in the end before I eventually did the respray a couple of years ago - when sanding it down it took a hell of a lot of effort to get it off.
A friend of mine owns an industrial coatings business and some of the paints he uses he will paint in whatever the ambient temperature is, others he has the booth cooking right enough but it all depends and the humidity is probably the bigger problem as it clean lead to poor adhesion.
