Paint spraying advise

Hello, I sprayed my charger a good few years ago and all went well. I have started doing a bit of spraying again (not on the charger or car) Problem is I keep getting fish eyes.

Im wondering if its to do with the panel wipe.
Im using U-pol slow degreaser/panel wipe, is this the best thing to use?

I wipe it on, then wipe off with clean cloth and leave it for about 1/2 hour before tacking and then spraying.

Any tips or advise?

JC will probably be best to advise, but I thought fish eye could be down to Silicon contamination.

Yeah I was thinking that. Ive given the area im spraying in a good clean and covered the roof and walls in clear tarpaulin.

There also seems to be faint lines on the panels. It looks like its from wiping cover with cloth with panel wipe.

I've had the same problem when I've used panel wipe and don't use it any more.

Yeah, seems like every panel I use panel wipe on has fish eyes etc

I never use anything from UPol anymore. Also make sure you have no contaminants in your compressor. Any silicone in the painting area will cause problems as well. You can get an additive to stop these imperfections, but once you start using it, you will always have to use it.
