    Could be just too cold, I'd try to get somewhere warm (at least 15c) to re-do it. That said, I have had good results by keeping the paint warm indoors till immediately before use & heating (gently) the part to be sprayed with a hairdryer..

    Don't get things too warm though otherwise the paint skins over before the solvent "flashes off" and causes pin-holing "solvent popping" or "fish eyes"

    +1 on the + 15 !!

    You can't expect paint to flow-out right when it's too cold OR too hot.
