Tried that cheap paint on a customer's bumper and it orange peeled like crazy

Had a guy bring in a 2010 Civic last month, wanted me to match the faded red on his rear bumper. I usually stick with PPG but he was on a budget so I grabbed a can of that Omni stuff from the local supply shop. Sprayed it on, looked fine in the booth, next morning it was all bumpy and rough. Learned my lesson - you really do get what you pay for with paint. Had to sand it down and respray with the good stuff. Has anyone else had bad luck with budget paint brands?

More user error than paint issue, I've laid Omni just fine.

Read somewhere that the Omni clears have a different reducer ratio that messes with the flow.
