My car is in primer and it is raining outside. How concerned should I be? What actions do i need to take? I plan on getting the car painted in the near future.

MMMMM, primer is porus it WILL absorb or allow moisture to soak throu.

How concerned should you be??? Well I guess that all depends on HOW MUCH MONEY you have invested that car's paint job so far.

What actions do you need to take??? Well the first one would be to put the car inside somewhere out of rain. Then I would think of trying to dry it off.

You probably wont see any problems right away but with repeated exposure to moisture graemlins/beers.gif

The car has been in primer for some time I would guess, don't know as I just recently purchased it. I am going to have it painted, but have not made any investment in the paint at this point. I guess I will just tell the painter that the car has been exposed to moisture and have him take the apropriate steps.
