Thanks everybody for the help here! Greatly appreciated.
Just a couple suggestions. That epoxy is way too wet. With those settings you must be moving way too slow, possibly too close, and/or with too much overlap. When you get to the base coat, putting it on that wet will cause big problems with solvent trapping. I would suggest practicing on a scrap piece before spraying the actual piece. The base should look even with very little texture, and should dry flat (no gloss) within a few minutes. Do not try to cover with the first coat, just a nice even coat. Better to put on multiple coats than to try and get coverage all at once. You'll get it!
Epoxy will dry with some gloss. I was referring to the base drying flat. First and second coat look a little dry, third coat is about perfect. Should sand out nicely
