Quick question - I think...

I'm planning on painting my engine bay this week & the forcast is calling for 40 - 50 deg day temps.

All the prep is done & I am applying Eastwoods rust encapsulator followed by several coats of their flat black.

Will the paint cure properly or am I just shooting myself in the foot by painting when the temperature is this low?

Thanks in advance.

should be fine if you flash the paint long enough and spray it in light coats. Dont get all crazy or you'll be sandin out runs. Thats never fun!
