    Man this is the big leagues! Brian, Henry Rifle, C9x and now Kitz are doing their own excellent paint! I know Brian sprayed his in the Canadian summer, and Tucson, Texas and Portugal are usually pretty warm but what about temperature????? I was doing OK with spray can Rustoleum on my black (Henry Ford told me to use black) frame and every non-chromed under part until about October and then the paint started to wrinkle-crinkle and although the mess won't show where I have repeatedly sanded it out and repainted again and sanded and repainted about five times, it really worries me about the effect of temperature. How about one of you pros saying a few words about temperature effects on painting? As it is I will not attempt any further painting except on chassis parts and farm out the work to a local pro. How cold is winter in Portugal, probably not too bad?
