Priming in humidity

[Davout]

I currently live in a very dry state, Colorado where the average humidity is very low. Recently we found out that my family and I have to re-locate to work to Austin Texas, a place with much higher humidity. I've heard horror stories of people trying to prime, airbrush and clear coat when it was to humid out and the result ruining their models. My question to you that live in more humid areas is when do you prime/clear coat/airbrush? Is there a particular time day that's best, is summer a no spray time of year, is it better done indoors? Basically how do you avoid the problems humidity causes?

Davout,
I live on Guam, which pretty much defines humidity.  I have never had a problem priming minis, terrain, etc. In fact yesterday I was priming in between monsoon rain storms and it is all good. I always use Rustoleum primer.  It is cheap, available, and gets the job done. Clear coating is another story.  I have been  a victim of the dreaded frost.  I have switched to hand varnishing my minis and terrain, painting indoors under aircon. I use Winsor and Newton Galleria Matt Varnish on the advice of our own Captain Blood and it works very well. Best of luck and don't be too distracted from your wargaming by the awesome music scene in Austin.

Thanks marianas_gamer! I use Rustoleum primer as well so that's good news. I've been using spray Testors Dullcote for my clear coat so may have to switch to a brush on clear during the warmer months. I'll keep the W&N varnish in mind.
