You might be spot on there - I never even thought about that! I did wash out the shell using washing up liquid, and I thought I wiped it down but I *may* have only done one side. They do look like bubbles now you mention it!

It was masked off using liquid mask (Parma I think, and I've probably had it a bit too long as it's a lot gloopier now than when I did my first shell) - applied with a sponge in 3 light coats. If it was from that then I'd expect the marks to look like the sponge lines in the mask rather than bubbles.

The reg is adjustable by the big knob next to the gauge - I guess it should be turned anti-clockwise to reduce the output pressure if my knowledge of regulators serves me correctly! I'll give that a go next time - and also give my garage more time to warm up before I start spraying!
