When is it too cold to paint metal?
(1/1)
RayB:
Autumn is moving in fast this year (I'm in Southern Ontario... close to Buffalo NY for you USAnians). I need to sand and paint some metal legs outdoors. Didn't have time all summer, and now I just can't leave these projects to sit another winter.
So? Opinions? It's always good to have painted metal bake in the sun. How cold is too cold though?
u_rebelscum:
Check the pain can, but 60-65 F is the common minimum apply temperature for most paints.
scotthh:
I've got a can of Rustoleum that says to use outside when it's between 50-90F (10-32C for you METRIC-aticians)
TOK:
Just keep them indoors until its time to paint and I don't think you'll have any problem. You can soak a spray can in hot (tap hot) water to make it flow better.
