I was hit from behind, low impact, Thursday at a 4-way stop intersection. The car behind me misjudeded stopping distance on an iced street. I was pushed forward about 18-inches. Only appears to be a 1/2-inch jagged gouge in center of bumper (my car White, gouge is deep into black plastic bumper). Will need to be repainted, or bumper replaced. Yes insurance info was exchanged and yes I already contacted my State Farm agent. Will go to dealership Tuesday to get damage estimate.
Should I be concerned getting body work paint during extremely cold weather?
This is Canada. Day I was hit was -2 F (wind chill -20 F). Now until early March not expected to have days above 32 F (freezing).
I am concerned getting my bumper repainted now and then driving for two months with below freezing temps, plus new rear bumper paint exposed to road salt. I think I understand it takes paint (dealer applied) about 60-90 day to cure, but at what outdoor temp.?
Should I tell the insurance company I do not want paint & bumper repairs until average daily temps remain above freezing (concerned with paint adhesion, and furture flaking etc.).
If I get the bumper/paint repairs done in the next few weeks, this is Canada and will still experience months at -0 F plus the build up of road salt on a newly painted rear bumper.
Anyone with paint expertise please respond.

This thread is about new paint adhesion in extremely cold temps. Please do not respond to this thread "uselss without pictures". Rear bumper paint will be required, regardless if the bumper needs replacement or only bumper repair paint touch up to repair a deep gouge into the black plastic. Pictures of bumper damage not required. Paint will be required and my concern is new paint that has to cure during extremely cold temps.
