Question
Hi.I've done quite a bit of painting over the years, but the temp this year is in the 90s and the humidity has remained 80% and higher. I can'remember ever painting in these conditions and am concerned. I need to paint 2 bumper covers. I plan to use Chromabase and ChromaPremier 72200S. Do you have any tips or should I just forget it for now.
Hello Steve
Yes, it is quite hot these days all over the country.
Use slow reducer in the base ,slow hardener in the clear , plus an enhancer in the clear.
This application will slow dry time and flow down alot.
Besides these ideas, you could wait until things cool off.

| Comment | Thanks. I have high temp activators ect... the only thing that concerned me was humidity. I put a dehumidifier in my shop and hope this gives me a little insurance. I'm going ahead with it. | ||
