You didn't say what kind of primer (acrylic-water based or solvent type) but I think basically both depend for drying on absolute humidity more than temp per se.   You may need to go on dewpoint rather than- or as much- as temperature.  High humidity is bad for solvent paints, not sure what the effect is on acrylics.

I checked my favorite primer, black lacquer in a rattle can, and the label said “Use only 0°C-50°C”. (118°F ~ 48°C) You might want to wait for the cool of the day, Ripcord.

Airbrushing/Rattle Can Priming in my area - Hot but nice.

I am seeking advise from anyone else in/around my area about shooting paint.  I live in Yuma, AZ and its a beautiful 118 F degrees today.  I love the weather here.  I seem to have a concern of my rattle can primer and airbrush paint dry 1/4 inch out of the nozzle.  The model usually ends up fuzzy.  Anyone else live around this area with experience of our enivroment?  Thanks in advance.
