For many paints, the minimum application temperature is 5° C, which applies to the surface being painted as well as the air temperature. Painting at low temperatures, with either water-based or solvent-based paint, will make brushing and rolling more difficult, slow down drying, and leave the wet paint susceptible to capturing airborne dirt, and dust.
