Reply to "Restoration/paint question"

Thanks for the quick responses.  I use Harry's paints and some of Charles's as well.  I try to pay  attention to the gloss vs. high gloss  vs. satin as well.  The humidity and temperature  are of concern as I live in the South and we have recently experienced multiple 90 degree days with heat index in the low 100s.  I run a dehumidifier 7 x 24 and AC when I paint in the garage.  If I am going to bake a piece at say  200 degrees as soon as it is sprayed, the outside temperature shouldn't matter. Humidity might.  But, I am thinking heat is the problem AND I am over baking.  I am going to test inside oven temperature using only one 75 watt bulb and try another piece to two.

There was a mention to sand the primer coat.  I have never done that.  I have at times lightly sanded/steel wooled before adding another coat of paint. 

Thanks to all who responded.  Hoping your thoughts and ideas will bring a little shine to my cars....
