I'm not sure if this is a good tip or not, but you all know one of the most critical times of painting is right after you put the brush down and drying begins. I always find myself scrambling after I paint something wondering "Now what?" and where to put it to dry. Styrofoam works good for the little ones, but the bigger pieces are harder to deal with. I read somewhere about turning on the spray booth fan 20 minutes prior to help with airbrushing, but I've found that the heat from the lights in a spray booth can help to "bake" the paint on for a nice finish. It's a little risky, but you can play with the distance and bulb watts so it doesn't get too hot (I've even used the top of the hood where it's warm from the bulbs in order to warm paint bottles. I've found myself doing this "bake method" often. In the pic below, I'm using two 75 watt bulbs that came with this Pace Super-Mini spray booth.
Also in the pic, I hope to have more on the car that I'm working on later.
On a related note, I believe 100 watt incandescent light bulbs and lower are gradually being phased out in case you use them for any kind of baking or hobby lights. Rumor has it that 100 watt supplies will be gone by Spring?
