Hey lads been struggling for ages doing my 2pac clear coating for ages, everything i do is infused, from out of the mould it looks perfect to the eye but then soon as i spary clear after prep work it leaves these tiny tiny holes, looks like where the weaves cross over it might have mirco hole or bubbles there, what has everyone done to spary straight over then, because atm im sparying the piece at lest 5 to 6 times with sanding every coat, should be able to do it in 2 coats but just wont run into to holes, tried thinning it right out and still wont work.
