And finally, Wookie's 82 begins !

Sounds like you had just the right conditions.

I also have about a 10c temp differential in my garage during Winter, so my painting cutoff was a few weeks ago. Only issue here is it can get down to around -15C by Christmas.

The de-humidifier was the "game changer"  - I ended up leaving it on 24/7 until the clear was on to seal the basecoat. When it got cold and damp over night the surface of the basecoat was sticky again the next morning without it. I went with water based because I wanted to reduce my exposure to the isocyanates in 2K (can't afford an air fed mask set-up) but it is a fight this late in the year depending on the weather where you are in the  (would definitely be a fight in Canada I guess)
