    Re: Paint Correcting Temperature

    Buy some plastic sheeting and hang it up to minimize the space to need to heat.

    A few Halogen lights will warm it up, just not quickly. Friction will warm things up pretty quick in terms of the polishing. A blow dryer on the panel for a few seconds beforehand will help.

    I thought about the polishing possibly heating things up a lil its startin to seem it might just take a lil more time to do the job in colder temps but possible

    Re: Paint Correcting Temperature

    I bought a small propane torpedo looking heater and it heats up a 2-car garage nicely. In the Chicago area in January, I can start it and go out in a half hour in a couple of layers of clothes and work on the car. I can go through a 20lb tank of propane in a couple of weekends though, maybe quicker. I can start it and get the garage warm though and then shut it off for a while. Also you can purchase larger tanks than 20lb that will last longer and then have those filled up when they run out.
