Default Painting truck in 30 degree weather...

Hello,

I have an older pick up truck which is essentially a third vehicle for my wife and i.

Well, due to unforeseen circumstances i need to get it to pass inspection before February
It has a couple of holes in the body that i am going to pop-rivet sheet metal over (perfectly legal here) but i want to paint that sheet metal and rocker panels black.

It doesnt have to be pretty, it can be done with spray paint, paint brush or roller, i dont care.

The only problem is that i dont have a garage, or access to one where i can paint.
Is there any paint that will cure in 20-30 degree weather?
Again, appearance doesnt matter, i just want to have some sort of paint over the sheet metal.

use rattlecan and a blow dryer to dry it. in 30 degree weather with no proper tools no matter what you do the odds are stacked against you...generally below 50 degress is a no-go at this station

Urethane paint will cure eventually, regardless of temp. Super slow urethane reducer and some cheap stuff will work, eventually.
