I got pretty lucky with the weather, I started the repaint mid october and finished mid november, the temps were above 12 C most days so I just got away with it, my main enemy was dust, even though you think you have everything dust free and spotless, you tack rag the car down and begin to paint......Dust will land in it from somewhere No big deal really, it all wet sands out, even bugs ! It just requires more effort in the finishing stage. The paint has to been seen in person to really appreciate it though, silky smooth and shiny with no orange peel
