What interior pieces are you painting?

Yes the humidity will effect the process....think light coats and extra time between coats to give solvents time to flash off before you throw another coat of paint on top of it.

For a decent job, I used Plasti-kote Vinyl paint. It went on easy, and doesn't come off on my clothes or skin. Here's my door panels:

If I was really serious, I'd probably use SEM dye, as that seems to be the product of choice. The Plastikote is available at PepBoys among other places. They happened to have a color that is almost a dead ringer for factory red.
