Of course, I phrased the question poorly, since there is no specific radii at
which you can say you are firmly on the "surface" but a search via Google (1)
seems to indicate somewhere in the 5500-6000 C range as the accepted value mid
photosphere....
How many men (2) it would take to paint it(3) is left as an exercise for the
reader.
Hope that helps!

1 - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=surface+temperature+of+the+sun (4)
2 - in flameproof suits of course...
3 - or why they would want to...
4 - contains two redundant words, but I like using natural language snippets
anyway.
