How Cold Is Too Cold to Paint?

The PW Asks: Can you paint outside in cold temps?

The Painter Says: Some acrylic exterior home products will allow you to paint as low as 35 degrees; but that must be the surface temperature – not the air temperature. In other words, the surface could be colder than the outside temp and that is a recipe for disaster.

PW: I don't think our insurance company would appreciate a recipe for disaster. But they might like your recipe for apple crisp. We need to post that one of these days.
