Will be ready to paint the bodywork on my DLM in a couple of days,
With the weather the way it seems to be going for the next few weeks I think the garage might need heating for the job.

Anyone had an experiance with one of these

Rentals are not a lot cheaper than buying one.

You need plenty of ventilation, they cause lots of condensation

might be worth waiting for some warmer weather then.
Had enough of condensation with the old garage

You could hire an electric heater

Like 47p2 I think the condensation risk from propane heaters is too great, also I'm told keeping propane cylinders on domestic premises is frowned upon. The red cylinders at industrial pressures might invalidate domestic insurance policies. Any fan heater will raise dust, as much a menace as condensation. My ideal heater for a workshop is the infra-red type.

Good points
Two ponts that are not good news for spraying.

Electric looks like the way to go, I supose the running cost will be about equel when the gas is added to the electric bill.

Hireing might be better as well, no maintainance cost, and not in the way for rest of the year.

Still plenty of other things to do yet so might leave the paint job and hope the weather changes, or look for the steering wheel
