70-75 works best. With todays paint the car should not get below 60 deg for the first week and a month for best results. Remember to use proper hardeners and reducers for temp and humidity when spraying. Don't forget to protect your self Paint is very nasty stuff.

yea, wear MASK!!!
Even with the one i got i walked into the wall a few times after being locked up in the booth for 3/4 hours straight.
I painted mine end of summer/beg of fall - 70's is shoot for. They have redcers all the way to the 100's though although i dont paint up there! Also, you may want to experiment with diff. temp additives to provide different paint flowing characteristics based on dry time. Also, you want humitiy LOW as possible less than 50 is good - most good booths control this though.
