Can we paint in cold weather?

November 23, 2021

Watch out for temperatures! With the onset of winter and lower temperatures, care must be taken when applying paint or plaster outdoors.

The ideal is to paint between 10 and 20 ° C. Below 10 ° C paints dry much slower and below 5 ° C water-based paints do not dry at all.
Low temperatures combined with high air humidity may also cause whitish traces on the paint film.
Care should also be taken with epoxy paints and generally with most 2-component water-based products.
Too cold drafts could stop the drying process.
