Two week further. Heater is on. Humidity below 60%. Fine for me.
So I put 9 of the 21 thin layers I use to spray on it yet.
Amazing colors IMO.

Very pretty, and the colors in the wood looks do look great.

The interim score
All looks fine. The 21 layers were sprayed 2 week ago. Then I sand all flat with 400# and spray 2 more layers. I never sand before I sprayed all layers.
Now, after two weeks the final two layers are almost flat and can be easily sand flat again with 800P. If you start courser, you have a ot of work to buff all the scratches out.
Well, this is all IMHO.
Now another 2 weeks and I go on with 1200P, 1500P and 2000P. Then polishing compound.

Good advice -- I level with 600g -- takes a bit longer, but trust me on this -- not many things in the building process will tick you off more than 320g scratches showing up during "final" polish.
