Freezing fresh paint?

[vikingsandpintos]

FINALLY getting some color on my project! I have the hood, fenders, bumpers and some small parts painted, base coat clear coat. I am working on the body itself to get it ready next week (hopefully) for paint.

I am in a fairly small garage, and would really like to have more room to open the doors ect to work on the body. So I would really like to move the painted stuff out. But, to do that, my only option would be to put the parts outside. I think the weather forecast shows b elow freezing in a couple of days, then staying below. (Michigan)

My question is, will the cold hurt the paint if I put the parts outside? Everything has been painted within the past week, some today. I would like the extra room, but not at the risk of damaging the fresh paint. The paint instructions don't say anything about temperature once sprayed.

Any thoughts? Thanks! (And a sneak peek )

If you do put the painted parts outside do not put plastic or anything over them. It takes a while for the solvents to come out. You should be fine to put them in the cold just not covered. In my opinion. In the bodyshop we paint parts one day put them together the next then send the car home to be in the elements
