Low Temperature Paints Allow Year-Round Exterior Painting
Not long ago, all it took was an unexpected cold front to throw a project off track: most exterior latex paints could be applied only at temperatures above 50°F. Professional painters in Michigan were limited to the warmer months for their exterior painting seasons, turning down late season projects and waiting until spring bloomed before taking the ladders and brushes outside again. Unpredictable weather made deadlines challenging and work schedules in constant change.
