Temps are quickly dropping here in the PNW, yet I still have plenty of painting to do before spring.
All the reducer I have bought so far is extra slow, and garage temps are in the low 60's. Should I buy some faster reducer for this time of year?
Currently I am painting mostly small front end parts, so the turbine doesnt run very long to heat up the air in the gun.
What reducer speed for winter turbine painting?

Would not hurt at all to step up one level in temp. of reducer. You can also try and experiment with mixing slow and medium reducers, say 50/50.... Just remember something about temp.s Metal runs colder than room temp.s Paint cans on concrete are bad as well. Always put down some wood or cardboard for them to set on. I check everything in the room with a laser pointer temp. gauge.... Warm room, warm metal/fiberglass, and warm materials.... Also, when you kick on an exhaust fan temp.s start dropping, so get it shot, get the vapors out, and try to get the shop warming back up again....
