I would like to paint an object using spray paint, but there are
two requirements which may be impossible to arrange:

1) Temp over 50. It ain't gonna happen outdoors here until April,
probably.

2) Indoors: Must have proper ventilation. I could open a basement
window, put a fan in the window, and do the spraying 10-15 feet
away. But, I wonder about sparks & flammability, with the fan
pulling volatile fumes right past its motor.

The object is a football helmet (don't ask why). Spray for two or
four seconds, rotate it, repeat, come back later for 2nd coat.
Risky? Stop worrying? Have the fire extinguisher ready?




Just keep the can and helmet in the house so the paint and target
surface is a good temp. Take outside and spray. What's it gonna take,
a few minutes? Bring inside right away. Repeat for 2nd coat.


Absolutely. I spray ceiling AC registers outside all winter using
that method. The biggest thing is to keep the can inside your jacket
so the paint stays warm until you spray.

This had better work, or you and Bundy will never hear the end of it,
because I won't, either. :-)





I/we'll find some reason to blame it on you, don't worry.

Get in line. :-)
