I'm a very happy man. Today, just by chance, wondered into a car accessory shop here in France and while looking through the spray paints, noticed they stocked all the old E30 BMW colours!!!

Anyway, I'm guessing the temps are too cold to paint the primer on my sills with the lagoon green metallic? It's about 9°c here.

Sounds like you want to let the temp rise a bit first. Way too cold for spraying.

there will be moisture in the air and you dont want that when spraying!
