Question

Is it OK to apply latex paint to a house if the siding (composite) is mildly damp with humidity or morning dew

Answer 1

If it is not dripping wet, you can do it.  It is best not to paint in the heat of the day.  I would, however, wait until it dries almost to completely dry.  

Answer 2

I wouldn't.  I tend to be overcautious, and take no chances. I'd wait for a dry day or later in the morning.  Just in case.

Answer 3

NO IT IS NOT OK.

The surface must be clean and dry, or the paint will not adhere, at least not for long.

Home Depot sells a number of siding cleaners, and I suggest you use one before painting.

It can mean the difference between doing it all over again.

And I know you don't want to do it twice!!!
