Thanks..
Could be a combination of things mate, the main culprit is -

Buildup of paint between the needle & needle cap, just mop up the needle cap with a cotton bud & pass some air through before you start spraying onto the lexan.

Also spraying too close to the lexan using too much pressure can cause this, best to do is drop the pressure on the regulator, drop a light mist coat on the area you're painting then build up from there.

Hope this makes sense
