Plasti dip in cold/snow

So I finally bought the stuff to dip my wheels and OF COURSE its going to be in the high 30s-low 40s tomorrow and chance of snow.

Now, I will be dipping in the garage, but I was wondering if that would effect the application. Also, if I let it dry a few hours and then have to drive through the snow, am I setting myself for it to be wrecked?

I'm so anxious to get it done, but obviously don't want to ruin it. Any advice would be appreciated!

Follow the instructions on the can. But my gut says to wait until you can let it cure fully.

I can let it sit for 4+ hours if necessary

Humidity is the enemy. If it's cold and humid, you won't get full adhesion. It might look good for a few weeks but the slightest scuff will peel it.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up doing it Friday before any snow/humidity. Doing the touch ups Thursday when it will be in the 40s and dry.

Also, let it cure overnight so should be good.
