Trying to be the best me, I can be
Mottling is localized clumping of metallic from spraying too wet. Other metallic issues result from low quality reducer that is too fast and from improper overlap or too high/too low air pressure.
IMO most paint including clear is not better than the 80's/90's. Safer for you and the environment yes. Not necessarily better. Some of the best clears and SS were made back then like PPG 2001, as well as original Imron which was as good as it gets.
If you are going to spray a metallic then use BC/CC. Simple as that. Solid colors either BC/CC or SS.
