What temp. range reducer are you using? There could be several factors for the problems, some of them not even something that you have no control over. If you can't get it to lay down a really nice surface, you might need to get someone local, to have a look at it, and see what is really happening. Or, use a different product/manufacturer.

I don't personally use PPG products anymore. I had a bad batch of the primer/surfacer, reducers and hardeners delivered to my shop a few years back. It would never totally, go off. The stuff ruined a lot of work and it was so screwed up $hit, it even softened Corvette Panel Adhesive to a silly-putty like mess. Tons of work had to be scrapped, and re-done. PPG tested the products and found that there were some improper ingredients in the primer and the reducers. I am glad that i had bought more than just one container of each product, otherwise they probably would have just claimed that I or someone else had contaminated their product, resulting in the damage done to some of the composite components on that Testarossa. PPG finally covered the cost of the bad products, but fell way short of the cost involved in all of the repairs caused by them. All in all, it cost me about $7,000.00 to know that I would never use PPG Paint products again. The $7,000.00 was what they would not cough up for some of the damages, and the cost to repair them and paint. They acted like they could really care less about this problem, till they received the "first notice" intent letter, and were then served the rest of the papers.
