How to deal with water drops on paint?

Too late now… but but right in the middle of my second coat of single stage as I’m leaning/stretching over the hood a stream of condensation or sweat dribbled out from somewhere around my full face mask…Ugh.
What is the best way to handle something like that when there is still one coat of paint left to spray?

Let it evaporate, then continue. A little air on it helps evap it faster. You can sometimes get away with it, sometimes you will have to cut and buff after painting to minimize a spot like that. When it's hot, wipe out your respirator after each coat. If you are sweating a lot, wipe your self frequently to minimize the chance of it happening.

Yeah, one of many rookie mistakes. I blew it off but it had already made these popped bubble craters. Was the final day of spraying and it was by far the worst. Was much hotter and paint was going down differently. i also spent more time than ever masking, cleaning, blowing and wetting down, yet had 5 times as much trash end up on the surfaces. Especially the massive hood. I should have hung it vertically. after I finally get all this sanded with 600 I’ll do it vertical for sure. I have to get home this week so will start back on it in June when I get back here.
thank you
My new full-face mask only lasted a week before it‘s become so cloudy and can’t be cleaned off enough to be usable.
 
^^^ I don't know what full face respirator you have but, my 3M full face respirator comes with replaceable clear shields. It's a peel and stick. You can buy replacements on Amazon.

thanks. I’ll look into that one for the next purchase.

You can buy generic peel and stick lens covers for any full faced masks. You should never use a full face mask without them.

Wish I had known that. This last one became a disposable and my painting was even worse as I went on because I couldn’t see clearly…
