Base coat looking blotchy

Hi guys I’ve having a bit of a problem laying down base coat for some reason it’s coming out blotchy, is it to do with paint to air ratio? I’m currently using 30 psi and just less than full opening for paint inlet with a wide fan pattern… Please any advise much appreciated

A little more info may help determine the issue(s)
What brand/line of paint are you using? What type of spray gun (and which fluid tip & aircap)? What reducer are you using with the base, and at what ratio? Are you getting Tiger stripes or mottle? All metallic colours, or just some? How wet are you applying the base and how much flash time between coats?
Any 1 or combination of the above can cause your problem along with improper gun setup, user error etc.
Read and follow the tech sheet for the base.
