Several users here who can speak with authority too. There will more than likely be others who pop in with other options as well........

Here is IOwa it is cold but I need to complete the chasis painting asap. Does it have to be abouve a certain temp for a long time to cure? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 196 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 196 | i blasted my frame got a gallon of hemerite gloss black and a few spray cans of it for the tight places painted it last summer its setting in the rain not a speck of rust showing very good stuff yuo could put it on without blasting because it incases the rust and stops it 60. for a gallon | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 | Minimum temperature for applying Zero Rust is about 55F. This is pretty standard for kicking solvents from the film allowing the film to flow out. Anybody tells you much lower than that, check it out. Applying heat to the piece before shooting in a cold environment will help as will moving air across the work to help pull solvents. Just be advised there is no substitute for some heat to "GIT'ER DUN!!!! Bruce Palmer [email protected] | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 39 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 39 | Bruce - 55 sounds good for painting and getting it to flow. But...I thought Zero and others need to "cure". Does it need to cure at 55 or will X (4 or 6, etc) hours at 55 do the job and then let the temp go colder? It would be difficult to keep my garge at 55 for several days. I need to figure this out asap as I only have about 5 weeks before the body goes back on. | | |
