Re: How cold is too cold to paint?

Don't.

If you need a temporary solution, do this: Go out on the porch/patio/whatever with the model on something you can paint (box, newspaper, whatever), spray the coat you plan on spraying, then immediately carry it back inside. The majority of the fumes are from the can, so it won't smell too terrible or be dangerous. Make sure the model is warm before you take it out (leave it near a heat register or something) and make sure you've warmed the paint in a bowl of hot water first. That way you're maximizing the temperature you can work with. If it's particularly windy and the garage is a really short walk from the house, then do it in the garage instead, but be sure to immediately get the car back into the house. Cold and paint do not work together.
