    I like the idea of the graphite, even with normal PC. It can’t hurt. Just a question of how much it ups the overall cost.

    Yup. Paint is paint. A combination of solvents and solids. The outside layer is drying and trapping the solvents inside. Extra humidity will exacerbate this. More and thinner coats and longer dry times is the fix. Just like any other paint.

    I read through this entire thread, and I was gonna ask - why wet? Then I came upon this post. All I've ever done is with the bb's in a #5 container. Results have been very good. Guess there's no need to try wet tumbling.
