sounds like its orange peeling. applying a clear coat can be as challenging a process as high realism airbrushing.

i look at clear coating like i regard dry wall installation. you do it perfectly, everybody says shit like "well thats what drywall is supposed to look like". you do it just a little wrong, f*cked up walls becomes all the dinner party discusses.

go look up orange peeling. if it sounds like a pain in the ass.
its a paint in the ass.

Been looking up orange peel tips online, keeps reminding me of this sketch:



Been doing some more today, having more success, keeping the can pretty close to the tubes seems to be key with the stuff I'm using.

So what you're getting is called dry-spray. Literally the droplets of clearcoat are drying before they land on the panel. Cheap, fast air dry clearcoats are really prone to this, but it can happen on all clearcoats if done improperly. There is a fine dancing balance between temp, airflow, speed of hand movement, amount of material flow and distance to panel. You were having issues with the last one. Decrease your distance to about 6-8 inches away, slowing down your hand speed a little,, and keep your airflow at a MILD rate going across the panel and that should really help. I have to troubleshoot professional bodyshop painters through all the same issues every day since I run an automotive paint store.

Also if you ever decide to up your rattle can game, look at auto paint stores that mix paint into Spray max brand rattle cans. Their 2 part primers and clearcoats are top-shelf product into a rattle can form. The big thing on those is you'll have to use a cartridge respirator or it's a one-way ticket to the hospital because they're the good nasty deadly chemicals. So good, but not to be overlooked.

We always joke, worst case scenario is sand it down and do it again.

Yeh, probably why they wouldn't conventional post them 2k Spray max brand rattle cans
to Scotland, they would only do special courier delivery when I tried to order them.

Oh the joys of rainbow glitter pearl. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE. Between that and old-school flake it is the herpes of the paint world. So much fun though.
