Calling all painters. What is the minimum temperature you can successfully spray in. I am in Canberra and it is getting cold already and I need to complete spraying my subframe and the engine bay. I read somewhere that 70F or 21C.

already answered this in your other post..

read the tin.. all paints are different.. there are alot of commercial paints that can withstand huge temp variations.. just stay away from acrylic clear as it will fish eye

give longer flash time.. and all will be well

some two-packs can be painted as low at 10 degrees with the right hardener

it will just take longer to dry.. too cold is better than too hot unless its clear coat
