Stop guessing whether to spray today. SprayBench checks your local humidity, temperature, and dew point — then tells you if it's safe to paint based on your exact paint type and task. Every scale modeler knows the frustration: a perfectly thinned Vallejo base coat blooms because the humidity was too high, or a lacquer clear coat blushes because the dew point was too close. The problem? Each paint category has different thresholds, and they change with every task. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your paint profile: choose your paint category (Lacquer, Alcohol-Acrylic, Water-Acrylic, or Enamel) and your environment (indoor/outdoor, AC, dehumidifier). 2. SprayBench fetches your local weather conditions and calculates a Spray Score (0–100) based on humidity, temperature, dew point, and wind. 3. You get a clear GO, CAUTION, or SKIP verdict for today — personalized to your paint and task. It takes 15 seconds to set up. No account required. SPRAY SCORE Your daily readiness score combines humidity, temperature, dew point proximity, and wind speed — weighted differently for each paint type. Water-based acrylics weigh humidity heaviest. Enamels weigh temperature more. The score accounts for what matters most to your specific paint.
