I hope I have finally figured out the optimal settings to avoid the mottling and cloudiness that has plagued me up until now. The P-sheet recommends 2 wet coats, but that resulted in absolutely awful mottling even after setting the gun to get a good spray-out.

Am I alone in having this issue with PPG Concept? I welcome any advice and suggestions.
What tip size are you using? My guy used a 1.3 tip
What Reducer ? I believe we used DX91. (There are I believe 3 different types of reducer with different mixing ratios)
Two coats were applied with a pre coat to give the paint something to hold onto.
