Now I use upon 2k clear, I apply 4 light mist coats and wait 5 mins between coats, followed by a medium coat and a few heavy coats after 15 mins... so why am I getting pinholes in the cleat coat? Iv waited 10 mins between coats and hit it with about 5 heavy coats and the dam things won't go away!

Otherwise with pinholes, the lacquer sprays over the top fine, all looks good, then as the solvents evaporate off and it cures, it sinks into the pinholes leaving dimples all over the lacquer.
