MORE monsoons. The car was actually scheduled to have the body work finished so it could be painted this week.
Naturally.now that my car is 1st in the paint booth...it hasn't stopped raining for a week.
We might have 3 days of sunshine this week.
Ohhh well.

RATS....more rain the entire upcoming week....the first half of February is literally "Washed Out" 
Maybe a little body work if he puts the car in the heated paint booth to remove moisture?
Even Ole Man River is rising up the sides of the levee!
Ohhhhh well.

I wish I had some good news about the paint but 1 day a week of sunshine for the last month has become "normal". The car needs 2 days in a heated paint booth just to remove the moisture from the body work
I'm getting plenty of drive-time on the riding mower, though.

Well look at it from the bright side (no pun intended). At least your painter wants to get it right and is doing it the right way. He could have simply painted it and been done with it.
Waiting is is a hard thing to do. My cars are not at my main house. So in the winter I only get to work on them every other weekend. Leaves a lot of time to think things through.
Good luck the the sun will shine sooner or later. Stay strong. Ike

He said there is a good chance the gloss black would have a slight haze because of the humidity/moisture.

RATS!
I'm beginning to think I should post a link to the weather channel. ONE sunny day a week in the last 6 weeks
It's a good thing he painted the doors before the new year and the deck lid in January when he had the chance.
This week the sun and rain will appear on alternate days
I'll get a call from the Painter for money to cover the body man's labor if he makes any progress this week...(pay-as-you-go-&-vice-versa)
