Heat for a paint booth?

Looking for ideas for a cheap heating solution for a makeshift paint booth.

Out of shear boredom, I’m repainting a motorcycle.

Whereas I don’t have access to a legitimate paint booth, I’m going to fashion up a cheap, drop cloth tent, maybe 10'x10'x8'h, in a pole barn. The problem, its darn cold out there. The barn does have a wood stove, but with the expected paint fumes, I won’t have a fire going.

To raise the air temperature enough for painting, I’m thinking of either a cheap Harbor Freight parabolic heater (SKU # 62313), or (don’t laugh) using an old electric blanket as a radiant floor heater. I only need the air temp to climb to 60F or so for painting and after spraying, I’ll need the heat on for another hour or two.

 

ide aim for 175 but

 

75* not 175 lel

 

If you have a dehumidifier use that too. moisture is bad news in a home made booth.

 

Not too worried about excess humidity this time of year.

 

Depending on how your electrics are out in the pole barn, maybe look into a couple of heat lamps. Nice, even, flameless heat.
