I want to paint a rocket but we are having high temps here. If I were to paint in about 50% humidity and 90 deg. how will it affect the paint finish?

If one were to use the paint in low humidity and slightly above the recommended temps what are the outcomes? The painting will be done in a small shed as I have no garage...:rolleyes:
 
My guess would be that it would dry pretty fast. I live in the Heart of Dixie, and humidity can get rough...can make for a dull finish. So I just overcoat with a clear gloss so it would look wet all the time...

after banging the car and the field, it is going to loose it's sheen anyways.

Do a test shot and see what ya get.

Right now I'm gonna wait til about 7 or 8:00 so the temp is not so high. I get a so-so finish. I'm gonna use this rocket to hone my paint finishing skills...LOL...c'mon...you know you wanna laugh..:D
