Humidity and painting

Hi,

I am getting ready to paint but am concerned that it is a bit drizzly outside, is that ok? The garage is closed and heated but no dehumidifier.

Thank,

David

Humidity will have it's worst effects on your compressed air supply and paint gun. Use a filter/dryer/water trap and finish off the air with a new hose-end filter at the gun. Empty accumulated water in your compressor tank often.

I would try to wait a bit for nice weather, I see your in MA, if anything like MI you may have to wait a lot!! , moisture is bad bad bad, since its in a garage be carefull about tree pollen this time of the year too! I like to paint in the fall or winter if you can heat your booth, Are you doing the complete car or just some parts?
