Have you tried thinning the laquer more so it can atomize easier? I was having a problem like that and it seemed to make a difference by thinning the laquer more. Maybe adjust the rate of flow for the laquer also. Sounds like an adjustment on the sprayer may help. Like they said previously you can sand it smooth and keep sanding with higher and higher grit sandpaper til it is as smooth as you like it to be.
