It depends on how crazy you want to get with with it. If you paint over it as it is now, you will always see the outline of layers under the new paint. You could scrape it all off with a paint scraper and go all the way down to the concrete. This will give you a much better finish but is very time consuming and labor intensive. It just depends on how much you care about the result.
As far as the temp question, it’s best to apply the product within manufacturer guidelines. If it’s too cold, wait a bit until it’s within the temp range in the instructions.
Best I can tell ya is to keep your skins really cold before scraping them and try using a duller knife. Do one or two thighs at a time. I've seen guys use paint scrapers such as this or this before with decent results.
Hardwood floor guys use pull scrapers to get into corners. Then hit it with a hard sanding block to even out the surface sheen.
Pick up a fine flat file to keep the scraper sharp.
