But it may be a bit to late now sorry

Plus as the blue is just a base coat you only need to put that on in lots of thin coats just to cover, you wont get orange peel on basecoat, try helping it to flash off (loose the wetness) by flicking a hot air gun across it, use the air movement rather than heat to help it on ts way... that way it wont run, and will cover nicely, then before fully dry blow the clear laquer over 1 coat leave to flash off for 10 minutes then a double wet coat ... but be careful as that will run like a bitch
