Painting brick outside in freezing weather

[James Dunn]

Hi guys. Got a question I'm hoping some of you will be able to help with. I've got a remodel I'm doing that has an old brick foundation. It needs tuck-pointed and painted before I can try and sell it, but we're in the middle of winter and getting hit with freezing temps week after week. The snow is cleared, but I know you generally have to be well above freezing before any painting should be done. Any suggestions on if I can still do the work, and if so, how to go about it?

all major paint company have engineers that you can call for free that will tell you what type of paint to use in low temp. alot of people will tell you not to paint in those condition but that a normal paint they have engineered paint that is made for the cold so check with your paint rep. We have did jobs were we had to put additives in the paint to do commercial work that was time sensitive .That 800# on the back on the can of paint that is for the engineers that will tell you if they cary a paint that will work in that climate
