Angry Damn This Weather

DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!!
its april 7th, normally it should be getting warmer out and much better modeling (mostly painting) temperatures outside, well its not the case here, the other day it was almost 70' and now 20 something and snowing! when willl this all stop?

whats the ideal temperature that you guys paint your cars at?

Temperature doesn't matter to me as much as humidity. I can paint in my garage on most days and its around 50 degrees in there constantly.

I noticed something wierd. When I sprayed my silvia, the hood had the sun beaming on it, but the trunk was in the shade (the hood waspointed towards the sun), and the trunk has way more orange peel than the hood. this leads me to beleave the paint MELTS as it dries and leading to less orange peel. Have you guys ever had this happen to you guys?

Also, I think the air of the city/country has a alot to do with it also. Europe's air is very clean and crisp, while L.A has a bit heavy air. If you live in L.A, you won't notice the heavy air, unless you go to Europe! This air might affect the outcome of the paint job, I think....

That could be a factor, but orangepeel is usually caused by the distance between the model and the spraycan. As the paint dries while going through the air towards the model, orangepeel is more likely to build.
