I'm just back in the Hobby since my teens and never used an airbrush prior, it came out decent but got these circles on the roof not sure if these are the ones referred to as fish eyes but my question is, if I spray on the clear (which I haven't) will that go away after wet sanding, thanks in advance and I'd appreciate some guidance- Mike.
Site not letting me upload pics, sorry.

Re: Need advice
One of two things come right to mind:
1. Fish eye from polishing with silicone...super no no
2. Water in your lines from inadequate air line filter (s) and lacquer paint...lacquer doesn’t like water
Clear WILL NOT take out defects, only magnify them

Re: Need advice
Agree with the blokes above, do you have a water filter on your AB line and did you give the body a good wash before painting?

Re: Need advice
Ya give the body a good strip and then an isopropyl wipe or airbrush cleaner
Check all your lines for moisture. Unscrew the brush and run the pump...you might find some water coming out. Drain the storage tank if it has one.
Make sure no oils or silicones are used around...eg WD40
