Hey guys, I've done two of these paint jobs with very satisfactory results, but I have a few questions....

1) Do the new VOC laws mean that Rustoleum and other oil-based paints that we need for this method are going to be discontinued?

2) Can the dry time between coats be sped up by the use of a heat gun if i'm only doing one small panel?

3) Do you need to protect Rustoleum from freezing temperatures?

Thanks in advance!



I don't know the answer to 1 and 2 but as for number 3.

If you are talking about protecting the paint before applying it, yes it should not be applied in temperatures below 48 degrees. If you are referring to the finished product I have experienced no issues with the paint from exposure to extreme weather. I have no covered parking and my 1973 Ranchero Squire Cobra Jet has been through three mountain Winters so far and My 1973 Cougar Convertible Cougar one Winter since being painted.
