I'm no painting expert, but a couple things I have experienced are:
Do you think it is too thin? I only seem to get splattering when my paint is too thin. I never thin createx in my iwata and have had good luck. I have thinned some of the thicker acrylic with airbrush medium and if gets too thin it splatters a little. The other thing I thought of is, since you have the 1 gallon bottle, was it mixed completely. I try to completely mix the small bottles by vigorous shaking and have had good success. I am guessing the 1 gallon would need lots of mixing/shaking to properly be completely mixed.
Could also be the pearl pigments, I have found pearl colors to be more finicky in the brush than the plain colors.

I heated it up with a heat lamp shook it real well and it worked fine. I don't think I mixed it well enough last time and I forgot to warm it.  |

Doing it with the opaque red now too......I am guessing it is mechanical between the compressor and the air brush!  |
