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?

You probably don't have a choice but if the humidity was 80-90 you really painted over moisture. I don't see how the paint went under the moisture or displaced it. Course the paint is moist. Maybe it will be okay, you probably really won't know for about three years. I once painted a scout with a flattened singlestage urethane top coat (my version of od green) It was after dark and cooler, and it blushed bad, I wiped over it with laquer after it dried and it looked ok, but it's still on and really holding up good.
Yes to the working late at night. I hate it when a drop of sweat falls in the paint. Also fg resin needs a lot less hardner as the heat goes up but you can work it a lot faster. |
