Default spray painting

so im spray painting my pillars this weekend, and since im supposed to paint in a warm temp and its like 20degrees here, i was wondering if it would work if i kept the cans and pillars inside to warm up and then took them out in my garage painted them and then brought all back into dry and repeated till done or would that not work, i guess do you have to spray in a 50plus temp place or as long as the paint and part stay above that

Do you have a spacer heater or something that you could run in the garage to warm it up a little bit before you spray to pull that temp up any?
