2k primer question

Tonight I sprayed some 2k regular build. Only notes I had on gun setup were from the summer. I used those and it ended up way to heavy. Alot of runs. I stopped after that first coat as to not bury any solvents, but I'm concerned about the heavy spots I have.

I planned on letting it sit for a couple days in shop at 68, then blocking flat and letting it sit overnight before another round of 2k.

Is that plan ok, or do I need to do something different.
 
Probably not as bad as looks, why not do a rough block today and let set a couple of hours and recoat.
 
I'll give it a shot like you mentioned, but probably after a day or two. Working a normal job and then working on a project after that gets old after a while if you dont take enough breaks.

I can't get over how much things change throughout the year. I had for the most part fantastic results about 5 months ago with some 2k.
 
First thing that crosses my mind is have you scrapped bottom of can to see if pigment has settled to a paste and not mixed in???
 
Brand new can, stirred for probably 20 minutes to get rid of the solids as I've had it for a few months.

Im guessing the difference in temp and humidity from last time I sprayed and gun technique. I dont hardly use this primer gun and its requirements are alot different from my normal gun.

I laughed when I read this because I just painted a car 2 days ago and got a couple flow indicators in my very first coat of clear. I was in a hurry and without thinking I hammered it on like it was still 90 degrees outside. The change in temperature this time of year always shows me who is boss. LOL
 
As a new comer to all of this I have been fascinated by the changes weather makes. It's hard to stay on top of, especially the big swings.
