Are you sure you are laying down a wet enough film? I would expect any overspray to easily melt right into the surrounding wet film in the type of situation you mention. Especially if you are doing a single part like a gas tank where the total pass time is short. That red should cover pretty well. You should be getting "near complete" coverage on the first coat.

But I doubt you are talking about anything like that.
