You recently painted a bathroom using Benjamin Moore Regal paint in a pearl finish you noticed that there where streaks after the shower and the paint is sticky you have been told you stressed the pai?

The paint was not fully cured when you used the shower. Now it will not dry until you stop using the shower for an extended time. Your option is to prime with a water based primer, allow to dry fully, coat with a eggshell or better coat, allow to dry fully, then recoat. Then allow to dry fully prior to using the shower.
