Default Car painting question

Yesterday i sprayed my front bumper and it came out pretty good. When i look at it though, i saw about five or six pieces of debree in it. I haven't sprayed any clear yet and when i picked it off today it was paint globs. What is this a sign of? How can i prevent this? I wanna get as perfect as i can in a clean garage atmosphere.

i would think when you wet sand, it will clear it up.

make sure your gun is very clean, take it apart and use a good cleaning brush to get all the crap out, and even let your gun seat in a some kind of container filled with laquer thiner. And also try cranking your air preausre to about 40psi, and make sure youre not spraying out TOO much of material, if needed turn your niddle inward thus restricting much of the material flow.

As its been stated, your spraying too much paint, not enough air.
