G2 caliper paint TEMPERATURE.

Hello. My question concerns the atmosphere in which the caliper paint is installed...
I live in pennsylvania US... It's cold enough that we're expecting snow tonight....
Does it matter how COLD it is or how MOIST the air is when applying the paint???
I know that the paint is an epoxy and creates its own heat when curing (which is why it can't be too hot out like the manufacturer install page says, or else it will harden too quickly)... This paint hardens, not dries.
But, because of the cold, would the metal of the calipers be too contracted and then crack the paint once they expand when the weather warms up in a couple of months? Does the epoxy have any kind of flex in that sense?
Thank you very much for your advice.

I don't think it would crack but I'm no expert. I'm sure that you've read the directions and if it doesn't say anything about cold temps, then I wouldn't worry about it. You should email or call G2 and I'm sure that they'd know.
