Can I shoot Omni surfacer and MTK Topcoat in this temp range and then bring the pieces inside to 65 degrees to cure?

I was also wondering (not that I need to do this) That if you wait past the 3 day window on the epoxy and you need to scuff and re coat, shouldn't you be able to scuff and topcoat? Just wondering.

Just a few minutes is fine, try and get the part and paint as warm as possible before painting, should have no problems

Yes you can paint outside and bring in later, but, paint will be thicker in the cold causing orange peel, it will run easier since no flash of solvents is taking place and when you bring it in and it starts flashing it will stink like solvent.
As for epoxy's, they along with all other products will give certain protection characteristics at a determined film thickness, epoxy's are 1 or2 coat application and if you sand you will probably be under the required film thickness and the paint wil fail, so by recomending that you recoat garuntees the paint manufactuers wont see failures due to improper film build.

Thanks Frank, of course it got too cold again and quickly, guess I'll have to wait for the 50 deg. day thats coming up. I planned to bring it inside the shop to 65 deg temp as soon as the gun was put down. Each piece would have only been outside for about 3 minuites only enough time to spray. Does all you said still apply for that short a time frame? Also considering the paint in the gun would stay warm in the shop between pieces?

Thanks,
