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?

humidity isn't TOO much of a factor until you get to the clear coat. High humidity can make the clear blush and look cloudy. I have been working at night for the last 2 weeks due to temps in the 100's and very high humidity. Go around to collision shops in the south in the summer and yuou'll see a lot of painters at work at 2:00 a.m. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Next week isn't looking any better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
