WF Preperation... o.O

So I am posting this here, cause it partains to the climate on the Midwest and also my preperations for WF...

My AJ Super Sliders were delivered to my house today, unfortunatly I am currently at college and not arriving home till Friday night. My father, is awsome by the way, agreed to "Prep and Paint" them for me so I can install them with all my other stuff Saturday. Problem is, it is in the 20-30* in Wisconsin at the momment.

My question(s) to you is: If he runs 2 1500watt Heaters in my 'rents 2 car garage, will it be warm enough for the paint to work properly?? I don't have anywhere else to do this, and would like to get them painted before all the road salt/grime rusts them.... Any suggestions would be great!

(BTW- Using self etching primer and the Rust-O-leum Hammered Black paint...)

I am not a paint guru, so I can't help you.

Depending on how often you wheel and how often you bang on the sliders, a great paint job is not important.

I usually hit them with a few shots of rattlecan black when I get done wheeling, just to cover some exposed metal areas.

Yeah that should be fine for a quick paint job and will last you till the spring if you are concerned and want to do a better paint job.

I agree with BOB 100% on this one. I tried to make mine look purty at one time, but now they have fallen victims of about 10 different brands of shiny black

Yes.

Oh....BTW....remember to provide some air....otherwise you may not remember painting anything.

Let them rust slightly, spray them with "Extends" paint them your color of choice.
Repaint them every spring.

and you might want to keep the heaters away from the paint fumes.....I hear that could be an "explosive" combination.

Mine are powder coated, and are starting a little rust in a few spots.......I feel bad painting over the powdercoat, so I've just let them be. I'll sand and paint them when it gets bad.

Well turned out I went to a friends 'rents house in New Lisbon. His dad's shop has a propane ceiling heater and heated the shop to 70*F. Was able to prime/paint/mount the sliders all in the same day... I know I should have let the paint dry more, but if it get's bad, I'll redo it this summer.
