42° with 85% humid is too much for me

Hello,

Yesterday paintball party on bridges, tank, springs (yellow original), a few pieces of scrap ideal temperature about 1 °, no wind, no sun, dust, humidity about 95%, and finally everything to go well!, except that the record indicates that the pot should paint between 8 and 25 °, it fell well have had 8 December, while painting ...





Painting is the matte black Hammerite (French painting overpriced), this painting is great, it covers well, dries well even at low temperature and has a beautiful tight, I absolutely advice, this painting s 'achette shelf bricolomarket (in France) of any kind (almost) in different colors and different finishes bright and satin hammered, this is THE paint need to apply directly to the scrap rust.



Once the paint is applied, no way to do anything, because it's cold and it's better to watch a rugby mach and dust on the paint is not the best .. . it remains to look dry, but it is a long dry.



Bridges the rust out a little through the first layer, nothing serious, I'll calm it next Saturday because we will be December 15, it falls well between 8 and 25 we will suddenly two layers, it will be three layers in total and it goes well enough.

Best regards
Petit caillou.

Love your work my friend, those springs look nice and soft too,

Hi Mate,

The springs are the hardest thing to paint, I would have put directly into the paint if I had a bigger box !

I will stay in the black mat paint for each part, I thought my wife would wanted pink for her GQ,... but she says a large NO !!!

Best regards
Petit caillou.

Hi Jon, Your French is perfect, I live in central France 250 kms south Paris and 100 km north of Clermont-Ferrand, I know the fabulous bridge of Millau and love Roquefort very much ( maybe too much), I hope you will come in France one day and have a drink with me.

Best regards to you and your wife
Pierre.
