Try thinning the paint more. Usually the paint is going on in too big of drops when it is op too much. Try more air pressure also, a long hose really lowers the pressure. Are you using a 3/8 id air hose and how long is the hose. Turn up the pressure at the outlet at the tank and adjust the regulator at the gun. If the paint is setting up too quick and not leveling out, because of higher temps, use a slower reducer or thinner. Course you've got to sand the op off for a smoother next coat. You will waste a lot of paint sanding most of it off. Mix up smaller amounts of paint and experiment with it till you get it right before you paint the whole thing.
