How can I paint my new Alteeza in the winter? I only want to paint it a single color so no complex design or anything but I do not want to wait. I live in Michigan and it has been around 10 degrees (F) out! Can I still paint it? Should I do it in the garage? (its not heated but might be a little warmer) I do not have acess to a spray booth or a basement that I can do it in. Thanks for any help.

hey slipknot,
I live in mich. too!
take your car in the garage and also take a
hairdryer with you, I always blowdry my bodies after painting them. I spray a lite
coat them blowdry it and then I repeat the
process. this helps bake the paint on and it
won't chip or peel if you crash

I did it in the garage w/ the blow drier it worked pretty good now if the snow would melt so i can drive!
