George, if you are doing a "true" restoration, runs, spluges, and glops are absolutely factory correct!!!!! LOL. Back in the 30s,40s, and 50s, IH just slapped paint on these old girls. Spluge is the best descriptor I can use.
Seriously, I am teasing a bit, but truly IH didn't attempt to get a perfect "auto finish" on these tractors. El Toro asks a good question, are you reducing enough, and are you using the right "speed" reducer for your ambient temperature? You might also want to check your nozzle to ensure is is clean and no nicks ( or too large). Is your air pressure correct to atomize the paint for the sprayer you are using? different paints have different spray qualities. I have a 4'x4' piece of sheet metal that I test new paint out on before I spray to get the spray pattern, reducer %, and overall "flash" time/overlap right for the paint and color/type I am using. Are you using a HVLP system?
