Is it too paint to have a go at my car with a rattle can and get a decent finish? I'll be painting in a big shed (think barn / warehouse), with a big heater, but not big enough to warm up the whole shed, just whatever it's pointed at.
The message from "Doki" contains these words:
It's too /anything/ to get a good finish on a whole car with a rattle can.
yeah but no but.............
I've had a decent finish out of decent rattle cans from the paint factors. Never from halfords ones though.
I've not noticed any significant difference between different suppliers. I tend to use Halfords as they are the easiest for me to buy, and have never had trouble getting a good finish with them. Certainly as good as the original paintwork on the car. Mike.
You need 15 deg C, preferably 20. Sorry.
Would I be able to get away with a warm panel and paint from an aerosol that's been in the house or is it affected by air temp too?
Yes. It's far too paint.
You might, but the paint invariably blooms.

Time to get the hammerite out and do a quick coverup to tide me over until it's warmer again.
I wouldn't - the different chemical basis for the paint means that you can't spray cellulose based paints over the top later without it flaking off.
Or so I've been warned, at least.
IME you can if it's been on for years. Mike.
