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?

I scoff at the minor details of humidity in Florida.
Real painters live near the beach in the cloud of salt air. That way, you can strip down a rusty area of yer car, spray red or grey primer on it, go in for 15 minutes, and come out to find rust erupting through yer primer. Learned a lot about why never to use a spray can because it creates a porous surface, and found out that if you avoid a spray can, most primers are porous. Thank God for self-etching non-porous primers Never painted clear coat though. Did spray lacquer and enamel and the catalyzed primers. |
