Summer is great! The longer days allow the shops that we work with to accomplish even more throughout the day. In fact, we see a nearly 75% increase in daylight during the summer (comparing the summer and winter solstices). That is a lot of sun.
The downside to being a paint shop during the summer (especially some of the shops we see painting trailers or steel that is stored outdoors) is that the sun is harsh. It will affect the appearance and performance of your paint. Depending on your customer's expectations, that can be a problem. This article will discuss the sun's effects on paint, why that damage takes place and what you can do to avoid it.
