What temperature can I use Latex Paint

Painting a sports field is a time consuming but necessary part of athletic field management.  Latex paint is commonly used in a diluted form.  In late fall or early spring cool temperatures may impact how quickly the paint will dry.  In general the optimum temperature to apply a latex paint is 60-85 F.  The minimum temperature at which paint can be applied is 50 F.  In general temperatures should remain above 50 F for 36 hours to achieve proper drying (at least on most surfaces).
