New Render - Can I paint it now?

[J4mes]

We had a newly built small outbuilding rendered about 10 days ago (top coat was 10 days ago) scratch coat was about 4 weeks ago. The render has gone very light in colour and appears completely dry. We have a break in the weather in the SE and for the next 4 days its looking like the daytime temperature will be 12/13 degrees and 8 degrees overnight. No rain forecast.

Does anyone know if it would be ok to give it all a mist coat to give it some form of protection? I wondered if the render will be dry enough. The sandtex paint is labelled as breathable as its the microseal one and can be applied in temps no lower than 8 degrees.

I'm thinking some protection would be a good thing before the weather really turns but don't want it flaking off if it's too soon.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

If it looks dry It probably is 

Get it painted

Exactly what we did - same weather pattern. We used a silicone-based paint. 3 coats.

Thanks! Got a mist coat on it today and it sucked it straight in and dried within 10 minutes. Will give it a top coat tomorrow if it's still above 12 degrees!
