And yeah, the cold really hurts on painting as it never really settles properly. You could wait til the spring time ~72 is about right.

I would agree with others that powder coating is normally a preferred method but if you're trying to save money or just want to see how it looks before having them sandblasted and powdered, that works great.

Best of luck to you, just remember, wind and open air outside is bad for drying paint >.<
I painted these in the garage. I did have to open the door to ventilate though as it was building up quite a haze in there.
