I have painted cars everywhere, and night is the best time, provided you have good lighting. Use good paint too, and make sure you buy the correct hardeners and reducers for the temperature you will spray in. Slower drying is better as it will cut down on dry spots.

You forget where I live - during the summer it doesn't usually get much hotter than 90-95 at peaks, and there isn't really an issue with humidity. Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely take note of them (especially considering painting is part of your job!).

You will dfinately want to paint when it is cooler than 90-95, that I why i said the evening. Unless you are really quick, getting around a car with the paint trying to flash off is difficult. I know it is not that humid in socal, but even 5 deg less will make a big difference in flash times. I have to paint in 105-110 deg in the summer, wish my booth had a/c!
