Second time to spray paint....EPIC fail....

First time, sprayed the interior in SPI White Epoxy...went well.

Second time, sprayed the roof, quarters and tailpan...ooops. Looks like I painted the car with bedliner (SPI Black Epoxy).

Parameters:
It is 100+ degrees here in Houston with humidity that is best described as phenomenal.
Prepped with 80 grit bare metal & scuffed e-coat, and wipe down with waterborne.
Epoxy Paint was about 9 months old.
Mixed the 1:1 ratio and let it sit about 30 minutes...maybe 45...(was this wrong at this temp/humidity?).
Seemed to "Splatter" out of the gun, adjusted volume down more...maybe not enough paint (shouldve adjusted up?)?

Water in the line? (I had a new line filter but in this humidity/heat it could've been overwhelmed instantly).
Car was painted outside, however it was shaded and mostly cloudy. (metal was not warm(er) to the touch)

Can anyone rule out the age of the paint?

What is the recommended plan from here?



 
Hard to say but looks like gun was to far away, if next step is 2K primer, just primer it, if not lay a wet coat over what you have and it will smooth out SOME.

Temp and humidity did not really cause any problems here.
 
Will do, thanks.

2 questions:
1. Age of the material ok?
2. should I sand it a little flat before painting or just respray it?
