Just looking for suggestions....
I am going for my Level 3 in April. I have until then to build, document, and paint my rocket. I will have the building done by mid-January, likely. But since Red Glare is the first weekend, in April, I am afraid I will not be able to paint it. And since I want to photo and video the flight, I'd hate to certify naked.
So, does anyone have any ideas for how to paint in cold weather? Let's say right up front that I don't want to build a paint chamber, or paint in my house. But I am hoping someone will say something like...
"Call a car body shop and ask them if you can use their paint room after hours..." (Anyone ever tried that?)
"I live near you and I already have a paint room. Come on over...." (Anyone, anyone?)
"Use BrandX of paint. They make paint for cold weather."
"Heat everything with a heat gun and then paint, and then heat it again."
You get the picture. THANKS!
