I’ll bet she can run that chain saw too!
Sorry, I misread, you ARE using BC/CC, great! :nothingtoad

I hadn’t painted a vehicle in 10-12 years but I really enjoy the whole auto body thing, for me it’s a hobby. I just did an overall on my brother’s 1999 Jeep Cherokee in “Silverstone Pearl Metallic” with PPG Shop Line single stage urethane on top of PPG Shop Line epoxy primer and got mottling in 3-4 places. My brother’s compressor is pretty small, so I used conventional guns, a Devilbiss JGA for the primer, and a Devilbiss MBC for top coat. My brother was happy with the finish but I was bummed because I always want to be proud of my work, hobby or not. This was my first experience with mottling after doing approximately 15 overalls in the past, but I usually used basecoat/clearcoat, which a lot of experienced people say is more forgiving. There are other possible factors with mottling too, such as operator error, so whatever, I’ll take the hit regardless. Still, depending on your color choice, (apparently, silver is especially prone to mottling but other light colors can show it too), you might want to consider using BC/CC. After all of the hours and blood, sweat, and tears to get to the painting part, it sucks to have quality problems. I hope you get a great result!
