So, I have a few Honda Accessories to install still (cargo hooks, cargo net, door edge guards), but they all require using touch-up paint and I was wondering if there are any curing issues in 30-40 degree weather as it is now cold here in Northern Indiana.

Does the bottle itself not have application info? A generic touch up paint site says - "do not apply under 40 degrees Fahrenheit".

What are you? My wife? I don't read directions...

In all seriousness, though, the Honda touch-up paint doesn't say anything about temp and a Rustoleum clear coat pen only says store at room temp.

lol... I said that because different paints have different application temps. Do you have a garage that you could put a space heater on to bring the temps up a bit? Friend/parents house?

Do have a garage. Don't have a big enough space heater. Might be able to swing a friends place. More than likely I will have to wait until spring or the inevitable odd day that gets to 50-60 between now and spring.
