painting in cold weather

We always had a saying of: from October to March never gloss outside before 10 and after 3. The gloss will lose it's shine, undercoating is o.k. if you have to do it go toa specialist decorators and buy some terebine driers BUT ADD ONLY A CAPFUL TO A GALLON OF PAINT, any more and the paint will crack.

smelly paint

I could be wrong but it seems to me that the oil in the emulsion is reacting with the sunlight. I think re painting may work

stripes on wall

Do you mean nice neat stripes. If so paint your wall then mark your stripes and stick low tack masking tape on the marks. Paint your stripes on and when dry remove tour masking tape.
