Painting Hull With Rain Chances

[confusedMercOwner]

Hello All, I live in the mid south and needing to repaint my 18' aluminum hull. I've got it upside down in the back yard, primed and ready to roll some alexseal 501 on it. The problem is rain. We have for the next 10 days a decent chance of rain (35-80% chance) and I'm worried to say the least. So here's my question. How do you all do this? It's almost unreasonable to expect 10 days of no rain to allow this paint to cure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

use the catalyst with the paint and it will be dry enough in an hour or two for it to get rained on.

get a pop-up canopy to cover the boat.

It will leave water spots though.

Maybe if it rains in the first 6-8 hours.
