The minimum temp that is tolerated is 35 degrees. That means the air and surface temp must be 35 and above.

SW Duration is just one that is labeled for 35 degrees.

Hello Michael,
You've been around more brands than I have...am I correct in saying there aren't too many brands that CAN tolerate applications in less than 50 degree weather?
Also, most lines need a 4-hr. dry time B4 temps drop to the 50 deg. level, correct?
Thanks,
Faron (Fargo, ND)...We're supposed to get down to 22 deg. on Sat. a.m.!!

I painted the garage door late in the season one year and it took days to dry. The nights are too damp, IMO.

Thanks, Michael, for directing me to brands with low temp paints. In your experience, do these paints work as well as regular paints? Any issues with durability, etc?

Faron, that's pretty useful basic info for me. I didn't know you only needed 4 hours dry time at above 50 degrees to make it work. If so, I might still have a window of opportunity - I think we might have some 60-70 degree days left, but I was wondering what to do about the colder night temps (going down into the 40's).

Janet - Did you have a couple of hours of above-50 dry time when you painted your garage door? Or did it just plain not work? How has your paint job held up?

Thanks everyone.
Michelle
