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. Certainly fully complete on the second - just to pick up any minor areas that may still show through. The third coat is for good measure, at least that's the way I treat it with the MTK. If you are not fully covered by the second coat, you may not be applying it heavy enough. Have you tried stepping up to the next hotter reducer to see if that can minimize the problem? I am just speculating here because I can't say that I have ever noticed an overspray problem except on previously painted (and dried) surfaces that were not properly masked off. I know there can be an issue with large cars or trucks where you have to get around the vehicle in a time fast enough for the last paint down to melt in well with the first paint down in each coat. But I doubt you are talking about anything like that.
