Did you do any specific sanding on the splitters. And by what do you mean it looks like a cheetah? Be specific. When you sand down something and you focus on one spot of sanding, you tend to create a sort of crater and you can see exactly where you sanded down when you spray. Might be because of the gun too.

Sounds to me like not enough paint to create a wet layer.
