Read the label instructions about application temperature.

Typically, paints have an application temperature between 15 C and 30 C as the ideal range, sometimes going as low as 10 C on the low end.

There are specialty products that can go as low as 5C or 2C, but you will need to check your product specifically (google it along with the word " TDS ") to see what its application temperature is.

You can't spot-treat with a brush or a roller.

You can technically spot-treat with a spray can, but it's still likely to be noticeable in some lighting / from some angles.
