Those are Dillon silver NIR actually. Chrome would be wicked too..

My poor attempt at a blended pair. I can't paint at the moment it sucks. It's so cold here that everytime I try to get out into the shop my paints are too thick. I'll have to set up the heater if it continues.

What "poor attempt" are you talking about? They look great Bro!
I'm feeling the cold too, but I figured out a system. Step #1. I started warming my paint up in a sink full of hot water and getting it ready in kitchen. Step#2. Haul ass to the unheated garage, spray a coat real quick. Step #3. Pick everything up and bring it into the laundry room (one of the warmest rooms in the house) to tack up. Step #4. Repeat #2 and #3 as needed. It's a pain in the @ss but it beats boredom.

P.S. It was either that system or convert the downstairs 1/2 bathroom (the next warmest room in the house) into a paint booth. It would have been perfect, well lit, nice bit of counter space and an exhaust fan.

I feel ya. Though I luckily have a heated garage. Sucks spraying indoors without good air ventilation. Good ole respirator does the job though.

I've wasted so much product trying the in and out thing plus the house still smells. Especially after clears or cerakote. Here cerakote turns to this jelly consistency as soon as I step out into the garage to spray. What I've been doing is waiting on good days in the winter.. so like just around freezing 0°c or so. The garage then is about 10 or so. Doable. When its -22°c at night it just takes so long for the heater to warm up its almost not worth it. I store all my products inside so it's not an issue of keeping it warm it's more the issue of the atmosphere I'm actually spraying in. Cerakote within minutes starts to chunk up and spit from the gun. So basically I just cant do it until some sort of weather break. Which is supposed to come here Monday. I luckily can still polish and anodize as its nothing is aerosolized. At this point I just need to hope some customers can stay patient with me and know I'll get the things done as soon as I can. I'd do some hydrodips as well but I have to prime things lol. Ive just been handcuffed for a week and a half. We just all need an earlier spring. Lol. I still to this day cant figure out why doc chop always complained he couldn't spray in the hot weather of California. It's cold that kills the paints and coatings. I definitely appreciate the advice though guys. How do you like spraying in your garages. I've all but killed everything in there with overspray lol. Like I have to repaint the walls and floors in the garage when I sell my home and buy my new place. I am super excited to set up something more permanent. I just did such a horrible job of keeping things clean when I started 5 years ago. Funny when I am house shopping I'll be looking for certain things to make my own area there. Lol. Oakleys are gonna determine what home I buy hahaha..who'd have thought that.
