When you mention wetting floor down, do you let it dry completely before spraying. Arkansas humidity is horrible. I thought humidity is also a factor when painting?

The reason I mention, my first paint job was a Grand National. I was spraying PPG Base coat & Concept High Solids clear and the humidy was so high after wetting the floor the clear got milky. It was the middle of June so heat & cold wasnt a factor. I was told by my parts wholesaler that it was the humidity. After a couple of days in the sun it did clear up though. Now I'm spraying Concept 2020 single stage.

I sure was hoping to not have to ultra-fine and buff. Not for laziness but instead because I've been told that the single stage can chalk after time when its been sanded and buffed? Something to do with because the base and clear are together and the binding agent after buffing will have some base exposed. Whats your take?
