Painting in Winter?!?!?

Alright I'm going to get a 97 front end conversion done on my car with stillen lip. Only question I have is that should I wait till spring to get it done. Cuz from some people I have heard its not good to get cars/parts painted in the winter. Any input...?

Thinking of getting it done in Nov.

Most professional paint shops, paint there parts in a controled enviroment. Like a heated spray booth. They usually do not paint outside in the dead of winter.

lip i sold awhile back. Bumper i'll probably sell for $150 shipped. The bumper is in good shape. It has the usual wear for a 79k bumper. But nothing bad. Its nice and clean.

yeah...but i mean whom ever wants it. They can buy it. Its just that if u go out to get a bumper painted pearl white it cost atleast $350 - $400 for a decent job.

That is totally understandable logic, I agree But for someone who's vehicle is a different color then pearl white, it would be cheaper for them to just purchase a un-painted bumper skin & have it painted to correct color for there application

I'm just trying to say you will probably be more likely to sale your bumper at that price if you place the ad for it in the 4th gen classifieds & point out the fact that it's already pearl white. $150 is a good deal for those who already own a pearl white car, but not a good deal for those that don't. However it turns out for you good luck on the sale
