Need some advice. I want to prime some motorcycle fairing this weekend but the temp is going to be in the mid to upper 60. Will it still be ok to spray and just give more flash time between coats.
Thanks in advance.

What type of primer are you spraying?

Most (including epoxy) will be okay above 50 degrees provided the temperature stays above 50 for at least 4 hours.
You will want to be sure the solvent has flashed off properly before applying more coats. Trapping solvent in primer layers leads to blisters, cracking and flaking problems.

Should be fine. Be sure to watch your flash times and wait even longer than recommended.
