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.
you should post pictures but sounds like overspray/underspray

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