Don't we usually have a cold spell up untill around March time? Then again the weather patterns are screwed so who knows?!?!?!?!

Well its meant to be snowing next week in most of the UK....so I would rule that out.

I just sprayed my spare fairing this weekend as the temperature went upto 9c outside, I did do it in my garage though which was at room temperature.

Uhh doesn't have have somewhere heated? You might want it a bit warmer than that...how you might imagine a 'warm' day is what you want, 15 degrees?

He sounds like a professional if he's offering to respray the whole thing, but it sounds like he's doing it outside, which wouldn't be very professional...unless you don't mind the finish lol...

He's not using rattle cans is he ? :p

no he is good, done a dads car and mine last car, it will be done in a garage but it will cost a bomb to heat it constantly

You don't need to heat it for the whole time, it matters more when it's first sprayed. For the 2-4 weeks when the paint is hardening I don't believe there is any need for heating.

But, being in a garage is better from the heating point of view, usually they stay warmer (e.g. you will get frost outside but not inside a garage)
