Strange paint sticky problem??
NightGod:
Alot of it depends on how much humidity is in the air when it is drying. That was alot of the reason I moved all my pieces into my house and down in the basement, where they are in the air conditioning. They dry ALOT better than they were outside.

I had the same problem with my paint. I let it dry for one week in the garage in AZ. The humidity is generally low here, but it is a little higher here now. It got much better when I brought the cab inside. However, after two weeks it is still sticky. I used Behr paint also. I didn't have this problem with the primer at all.

I have the same problem with the paint i used for my cab. It too was a water based black color.
Even after months it is still sticky, espeically to itself (under lid of control panel etc) The fella at the paint store basically told me it could be to do with the color. The black dye they actually put in the paint to make it black never dries, it is the paint that does. The blacker the paint the longer to dry as it means more dye added.
Hopefully after time it will dry better
good luck...

Putting a clear coat on it should also help eliminate alot of those issues for you, I would think.

This is one reason that I always recommend oil based paints. They take a few days to dry, but they're rock hard after they do.
