my van is rusting quite badly and I could do with slapping some paint on it

its only the sills and the inside arches so the finish doesnt have to be perfect, Id even be happy just getting the anti rust primer on, is it too cold for anything to dry in this weather, and does paint freeze?

get yourself some halogen heater one that use light not gas warm the area up before you paint it as paint should be applied at room temp and then leave it on it until the paint has flashed off
