Am I risking problems based on the temperatures? What could happen worst case?
I've been painting the outside of my house for about 4 months. Been slow because I'm doing it myself including repairs as I go and building and rebuilding scaffolding for awkward bits. I've saved the south gable till last from a weather point of view but we're in winter up here now.
I'm using dulux trade smooth masonry white. Two coats. Paint details recommend 7 degrees minimum outside temp for application.
At the moment we've been just short of that in the day about 5 to 6 degrees but I have the sun as well recently but at nights temps are dropping to 1 or 2 degrees below zero.
The walls are very dry and are harled and I really wanted to finish this job off asap.

Thanks
