Painting, at what temp? [View all]

We are painting my work (or getting ready to anyway) and the paint says not to paint if it's below 50 degrees. it's a cinderblock building with lots of drafts but a heater that will keep it in the 60s

any reason we can't paint ?? it's damp as all get out outside and cold, but the little heater should be enough eh?
