I am nearing the point of laying down the 2k primer on my car, possibly this weekend. I'm prepping/painting the car under a pole barn. It's a structure that has a concrete floor, roof but no walls. Here in central FL the humidity is going to be high this weekend, 80%+, scattered showers throughout the day. Will this effect the paint? Should I wait until it's lower? If so, how low should it be?

The humidity probably won't hurt as much as the temp will flash the paint quicker. Maybe mix it to a slower dry to keep from spraying dryed paint , also you say the barn has no walls , the breezes will blowdirt and dust into the paint not to mention bugs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) maybe hang up some plastic sheets / tarps around the spraying area, you should also wet down the floor with water to keep dust down to a miniumum but don't splash it onto the car and not sloshing on the floor. Good luck with you venture....
