HOLD EVERYTHING!! You can't paint anything while heating the garage with kerosene, fuel oil, an electric heater, or anything with a flame, or an electric heat strip! You'll take a quick trip to the moon! You must have a heat source outside of where you are spraying paint! A propane or gas heater, completely isolated from the spray area is the ideal thing! BUT!! If you paint in the garage under the house, heated by the house gas furnace, your wife will be gagging after about a half hour of painting. That overspray sneaks into the system, and STINKS!!
And, if you try to paint with oil heat in the paint area, you'll get "Fish-eyes", which makes the finish look like Tapioca pudding! And, maybe you won't have to worry about that, as you'll probably blow up the house!! There is a product that we used in auto paint, called Fish-eye eliminator, but it may not be compatible with the base coat-clearcoat paints. Ask CNKS about that.
