yes, I noticed that - it was 4c outside yesterday evening here and it went on fantastically.

No bloom either. It took a bit longer than 1 hour to be touch dry though - probably about 4 hours and this morning I can't mark it with my nail so is getting really well set.

Maybe a touch more hardner in my mix next time.

Keep the hardener to the 2:1 ratio. Adding more will not make it better. When you are spraying you should be able to see the wet line going on. Try slowing down a bit or reducing the fan width a bit. If you have to flat back the paint do it within a couple of days and compound it with a compounding head and G3, keep it wet though and slow speed. I left the bonnet for a week before compounding and I could not get a gloss with G3 it was too hard. I had to use G6 and then G3. When you've done all that put some Farecla glaze on on it it brings up the gloss and deepens the colour.
