Finally got around to spraying the base color yesterday (EkoPoly) and went about laying on the first three "fog" coats. My shop was somewhere between 70 and 75 degrees and the coats weren't drying as quickly as they seem to dry in the youtube videos. By the third coat I was starting to see the beginning of orange peel so I stopped for the night and will have to sand the surface a little to even out the finish and to get the top layer ready for more paint.
Not a total disaster but thought I'd share for anyone that is giving this a try for the first time as I am. You can definitely see in some places how nice it's all going to look when it's done so it sucks and it's exciting at the same time.
Just plan a little more time between coats if the temps are in the low range, that seems to be the lesson here.
