    Thank you for the tip
    I will sand down and start from Base Coat to Clear Coat..
    Originally I left basecoat overnight to dry out .. then when I started to apply clear coat looks like this is when this mess started.
    I will have to get another gun with 1.3 tip, I have one with 1.0 tip but probably too small for clear coat..
    regards reducing clear coat
    I notice when I did first coat 2:1 (Clear and hardener) when I sprayed it was dull not transparent, <– should this tell me something is wrong ?
    I let it sit 30 minutes it got clearer
    then I did new batch but added reducer to ratio 2:1:1 (the cap I have has 2:1:1:1 ratio) I did notice when I sprayed it was wet coat clean but I notice it started to get orange peel, and waited 15 minutes it didn't help put my last wet coat and left it overnight to dry , and wake up to this above /..

    not this clear I have is probably not the best for condition I am doing in Garage make shift booth it seems a lot of people uses 2K stuff which is simpler to handle
    should I get 2K clear or suggestion different ratio with this one ?

    This is first time using gun, previously used spray cans order stuff from automotivetouchup.com, and did my both front and rear bumper and came up really good to factory color,
    this time decided to use gun method..
    The autobody supplier sold me paints from this company http://www.dominionsureseal.com/ European Paints
    There are not many suppliers who sells paints to public in Canada, previously I have ordered from US
    The label for Basecoat is 2:1 ratio and Clear coat the same 2:1

    I was able to wet sand 600-800-1000-1500-2000 and removed most of the orange peel , Polished the panel and it is clean but the white dots are present there, when I did sanding is some area the white dots were removed, so this point to clear coat issue am I heading in right direction ?
