Paint and Humidity
« on: June 29, 2015, 07:42:07 pm »
Guys I am thinking of getting my truck repainted soon but am concerned about our weather here at this time of year. We are in our monsoon season here in Arizona and the humidity is up and will go higher. Sure the truck will be painted in a booth but what about afterword, will the humidity affect the new paint?

Thanks

I would hope whoever does the painting will know how the paint reacts to humidity.  Typically a clear urethane will haze because the moisture in the air acts as an accelerator.  If a spray/bake booth that shouldn't be an issue.

Biggest problems with humidity, & paint are with lacquer. I have found urethane, & acrylic enamels are not as bothered.
Once the paint has dried several hours humidity will not affect it.
