Well, it doesn't help that you painted outdoors. If you can, do this in a garage w/ a respirator and the doors closed and make a temporary paint booth. I've had to use the tool shed a few times in the past.
And yeah, the cold really hurts on painting as it never really settles properly. You could wait til the spring time ~72 is about right.
I would agree with others that powder coating is normally a preferred method but if you're trying to save money or just want to see how it looks before having them sandblasted and powdered, that works great.
Best of luck to you, just remember, wind and open air outside is bad for drying paint >.<
