I plan to begin priming and painting a tank pretty soon, if the weather cooperates. I've been keeping the tank and the paint in the house, but I'll need to paint outside. The recommended temperature was 40s or 60s, but either way, it's 20s and 30s outside now.
Does the air temperature while painting matter? I was hoping to paint while the parts and paint are warm, bring it into a garage (maybe 40s) for a short time before bringing it into the house to set up.
Also, would putting it in the oven aid the curing process? I was thinking of doing something like preheating the oven to 180, shutting it off, and then letting the tank sit in the warm oven (never running the oven while the tank was in it).
