My paint booth heater died mid-job last Thursday

I was in the middle of spraying a 2018 Ford F-150 when the heater just shut off at 60 degrees. Had to stop everything and run to Grainger for a new igniter, cost me 3 hours and a $40 part. Anyone else had their booth crap out on a cold day and ruin the paint schedule?

Honestly, 60 degrees isn't that cold for paint, seems like an overreaction.

Oh MAN, I feel your pain! I had my booth heater die on me last February when it was 18 degrees outside and I was three quarters through a pearl white job. Had to scramble to borrow a portable heater from a buddy just to keep the paint from blushing, total nightmare.
