I am planning on painting my jd 4230 this fall/winter. My concern is the outside temperature having an adverse effect on the paint adhesion. I'll be painting in a unheated and noninsulated garage. I can run a bullet heater or propane if necessary, but are there any tricks to painting when it's cold out. I'd hate to wait until next spring. Can I just monitor the surface temperature of the metal when painting? I'd hate to waste time if it's not going to stick. Are there any rules of thumb to follow or certain paint brands that allow cooler weather painting? I would think if it's 30 outside then the garage temp would be in the 40s and I could heat it and get to 50s if necessary.
