Baby it's cold outside!

The weather has turned....after a particularly mild fall and beginning of winter, mother nature decided to rear it's ugly head and throw winter at us. Like REAL winter, not like southern Alberta winter which consists of two days of -18-23C....I'm talking -32C for two weeks. Square tires on the car in the morning, and I embarrassing realization that I didn't even inquire if the recent car we bought had a block heater.....which it does not....yep I've gotten soft.

I continue to dominate the garage space, but I can hear the clock ticking.....so I enlist any and all help when I can. The kids have learned the hard way when I ask..."Do you have any homework?" the best answer is "yes" otherwise you end up in the garage....

using 600Grit sandpaper in a very repetitive motion

After much practice I have finally come up with a spray technique.

I thin the paint by 15% and then because the ambient temp of the garage and therefor the paint is about 13C I warm the paint.  It allows a better flow from the gun. The downside is the paint will slump easier.

 I have found that I must spray them in the horizontal position and be VERY careful on the amount applied on vertical surfaces

Some applications have been very successful....

And others not so much....
