I'll have to get myself a gun for the mask, pressure is not a problem.
How many coats are you putting on?
when brushing it on by hand I do 1 thin coat to start then 2 slightly heavier ones which seems about right for me.

It's tricky with the mask - when you spray it - it goes on so flat it's hard to tell how thick it is ! I go for around 4 thin coats and then test the thickness on a part of the lexan that is not part of the shell. It's one of those where you get used to it and just know if there's enough on. I always find that too thin is a nightmare to get off so too thick is better !
