Warm and dry conditions are ideal for spray painting the "sweet spot" ambient temperature for spraying is 50-100 degrees Farenheit, as aerosols don't always work best in the damp and colder temperatures hinder drying time, although it can be done. If it's not warm and dry outside, work in a well-ventilated garage, but set it up for painting. Actually, 50 is too cool for most modern paints.  65 is about the lowest and 90 the highest.  Be sure to choose hardeners and reducers for the temperature range you'll be working in.
