I think you will be having real problems with oil-based paints now. Your paint will be slow to go off and will stay soft much longer. I was a bit late doing my roof, which needed painting for the winter. The first four coats were done with not-very-easy to brush fast drying paint. But the first coat I did with 8 spray cans of galvanising paint to get it started, followed by two coats of Teamac rapid dry primer/undercoat to get the build of paint. So far, no flatting, it can be done next year for a better finish. Not quite done. It had two coats of a fast-drying floor paint, followed by a final, for this year, coat of oil-based floor paint. I did some light keying up with 240 for that. It has taken a week for it to reach any kind of hardening. The steel is protected for the winter, and cosmetics can wait till next year. I found the Teamac very useful, under the conditions, but there's hardly any such thing as a wet edge. The paint is really meant to be sprayed.
