We having a nice weather here in Calgary at the moment, and I been itching to paint my wheels. I got it all primed, but not painted yet, I know that painting in cold weather is a no no, but considering its going to +15 outside tomorrow I am hoping to finish this up. What you guys think? yes ? or no? I know its my decision at the end, but I could use some second opinion

If you want to paint at +15c make sure your wheels are warm first so store them indoor like in the kitchen over night or a day. Build yourself a warmer box to put the wheels in after painting to keep warm and aid drying. I use a big cardboard box with a cut out for a small heater or a halogen work light as a heat source as a warmer box. I would keep the painted items warm for at least 1/2 hour before I turn off the heat then transfer them indoor, by then the smell of the paint should be bearable. Keep an eye on the heater/light until you turn it off.
