What was I thinking...oh yeah...I wasn't. 
I was blinded by..."wouldn't it be great to see how glossy that paint would be?!?" Instead of answering that voice in my head with a firm, "No...it's too cold and you know that," (and ignoring the other voices wondering who else we were talking to...) I squeezed the paint trigger and began pouring it on. 
I can't see yet how bad the damage is...I'll take it to work with me tomorrow and let it sit in the truck to keep warm. Then when it's dried properly, I'll see what needs to be done. Best case, a little light sanding and a thin and quick coat to fix up the problem areas. Worst case, completely re-strip the black high gloss paint and wait for warmer weather.
