    Sup Everyone,

    I’m dying here.. I’m actually in the office and I’m running on a thin red line. I have just enough paint to cover an entire hood but its a one shot deal. So far the last two coats didn’t come out as well. I keep on getting dry spots/blotting (looks like Dalmatian dots) all over the hood. Sometimes it happens to me and sometimes it doesn’t depending on the color. Right now, I’m painting PPG DBU Toyota 1F7, which is silver base and silver always ends up “dotting” on me everytime.. and so far.. I have no clue how to fix this.

    I’ll be sitting here guys hoping I will get a reply real son before the 2nd coat flashes. FYI, I’m using an Anest Iwata LPH-400 w/ a 1.3 aircap. My air pressure is set correctly and so is my fluid speed (as far as I know). I’m just not sure if the shop’s air compressor and/or water filtration is set incorrectly or if it’s my strokes.
