Priming

So I tried my first priming job on the tailgate of my 91 today and it went ok. One thing I noticed, is that the primer kind of ... made flakes on half of the tailgate, anyone know what could have caused that? I will take a picture tomorrow to show you all what I mean. Its like it left bumps of primer on half of that tailgate. Im sure I had the gun and air set properly too.
