Can I use this paint in a cold room?

Troubleshooting
Paint is flaking or peeling after application.
This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all loose paint was removed, the surface was appropriately sanded, and cleaned before application, especially when painting over existing finishes.
Uneven or streaky finish.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats, brushing in the direction of the woodgrain. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure optimal temperature and ventilation.
Paint is not drying properly.
Check the room temperature; it should be above 10°C. Ensure adequate ventilation. If humidity is very high, drying times may be extended.
Colour appears different from the swatch.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred to mix the pigments. The final colour can also be influenced by the existing colour of the surface being painted. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
