most say 65-72 but you can go lower if you take your time, no thick coats, etc.
I do automotive touch up paint including bumpers, trim, mirrors, etc. I live in Cincinnati and yesterday it was 41 here. I painted 1/2 of a Hyundai Santa Fe bumper outside. No heat source extra. Took a bit longer but worked fine.
If you are doing more than 1 coat, put them on thin so they can dry easier. If you are going thick, 1 coat, do it monday or so when its suppose to be back up to 60's for a few days. Might be tacky for a day, just be careful around it.

if you are using an exterior paint as long as it is above 40 degrees you will be fine, also look at the can as they usually will tell you what range of temps is good
