I like to paint outside as I can see so much better. But yes, you run the risk of dust, bugs, or other hazards. You don't want to paint in extreme heat, that's sure. The paint will dry too fast and you can't get a shine. They do make slower drying thinners for hot weather. In the summer I'd paint first thing in the morning. Provided the tractor is dry, (not wet from dew) If it's cooler where you live you might wait til later in the day, or maybe paint in the shade. I'v e had a little trouble if I paint too late in the day bugs will land on the paint. But if the paint is set up at all if you leave the bugs alone until the paint is completely dry they will wash off and hardly leave a mark. Don't buy $500 paint and don't mess with "hardener" you will learn as you go. I never have enough patience to wait to put it together. I'll have it together with the decals on 12 hours later. Always have. But yeah, I always have a few boo boos too. New paint is pretty soft the first week or two.
