Acrylic Paint and Cold Weather??

[Warren]

I have my work bench set up in a room in my garage which is not heated. I live in New Jersey, USA
near the Atlantic ocean. The winter weather is damp, and the average temperature ranging from 20F to 35F. A very cold spell
can have temperatures of 0 degrees F to 15F.

Question:
Will such cold weather damage the acrylic paint, primers, washes etc.? I would rather not have to bring them into the house if possible.

Thanks.

I had a big shed in my garden in the uk , I always used to bring all my paints inside once the temperature starting dropping
I found that the paints reacted to cold , become a bit sludgy & thick
Hope this helps fella

Peter,
Thank you for the observation. I did a bit of web surfing on the subject of acrylic paints, and cold weather. The consensus was similar to yours.
The big culprit is that acrylic paints are water based and as such freeze more rapidly than oil paints.
I plan on bringing my paints inside as soon as the cold weather sets in. I have a space heater in my workshop. I will just have to bring out
the paints, glue and putty filler that I will need on a particular build on a particular day, and then back to the house with the paints etc.
when the day's build work is done.

Thank you again,
Warren
