#235493 I live in Chicago and the temperature is around 25-32 degrees. I gutted my rear blue interior panels to paint them black in my basement. As for the interior I keep my car in my garage and want to primer the rear interior floor. Will the primer stick in cold weather???

#235517 How warm is ur basement cuz it not about sticking its about drying and hardening. It'll stick but just peel away when summer comes ...I say just wait unless u can get ur basement warm enough :thumb:

#235546 My basement is 50-60 degrees, warmer by the furnace, and boilers. I'm going to put my plastic parts to dry near the furnace. I drove to several stores to find a few cans of Krylon Fusion Satin Black. It's hard to find spray paint in Chicago because it isn't allowed to be sold within city limits.

#241713 it will dry, but it will take forever. buy a couple heat lamps or a couple halogen shop lights if you can. will help the heating issue. had a problem painting stuff in the actual cold months in FL when i would try painting at my shop. heat lamps with help though...

(dont put them right on the part lol, but close enough it still feels radiant)
