Using the elements is good.
i use the "Clear Shoe Box Method".
Go to the $.99, Dollar store or even Wal-mart type places.
Buy the clear shoe box-sized storage boxes. On a sunny day, flip the box so the lid is on the painting surface. I use little wood blocks to hold up the pedals and place them on the lid. Paint a coat and place the "Box bottom" over the enclosures.
Serves 2 purposes. A. Keeps dust, debris and bugs off the drying aint. B. The box will heat up in the sun and have a toaster oven-like baking effect on the paint.
Works well for me.
Plus you can get 8-10 boxes for the price of a toaster oven and paint a bunch at a time, without waiting for shifts with the toaster oven.
