Hi,

I just finished painting my porch yesterday (Benjamin Moore Porch
Latex). It was cool out (50s) and shady. My worry is that today it
has done nothing but rain. Steady and heavy. Should I worry? My
last coat was on ~12 hours before the deluge came, but being that it
is fresh paint, etc. I touched the paint and it seems dry (wet from
rain) but a bit "oily" and didn't know if that was the paint or just
my imagination...

Should be OK if the surface was dried enough.

Thanks...unfortunately, I just noticed tiny pinhead sized blistering.
Nothing big, but not good. I also noticed one spot where the paint
itself literally washed off. Funny enough, there were 3 coats of
latex applied within 2 days, and it still washed off. Needless to
say, I'm not a happy camper right now. I hope it will just mean a
touch-up or two and not a strip and repaint job.
