Production clear problems

In another thread I’ve been getting advice on painting production clear over white Motobase base. My problem is getting a good smooth finish with the clear. I just can’t seem to see the clear going on. There must be 45 fluorescent light tubes in my garage/paint booth and it’s bright as hell.
Also there is way too much overspray in the air. It’s like painting in a fog. The gun I’m using is a HF Black Widow. Production clear calls for a 1.4 tip and the HF gun is 1.3. Tech support said it would be fine. The same gun laid the base down perfectly.
What am I doing wrong?
 
Thanks guys I’ll pick up more fans and filters from work. I had two of those cage style fans blowing in through filters and one more cage style and a box fan blowing out. I think I’ll see if I can pick up 2 or 3” furnace filters instead of the 1”.
