Try thinning the paint? Maybe air is up to high? Drying the paint to fast as you spray. Keep an eye on the needle so it stays free flowing, you’ll have to keep the tip clean so it sprays well each time. Make sure needle doesn’t get damaged also

I had the air pressure set at 25psi. I didn't thin it because it advertises that it is ready to spray. I'm going to try and clean it up and try again tomorrow.

I used this same paint out of airbrush. I think I had my air higher,maybe 30-35? Is moisture getting through line? I might have thinned mine,I don’t recall. Good luck

What size tip are you using? Most likely you will need to thin the paint.

From Spaz Stix:

The cobwebbing is generally the result of spraying the paint too dry. So either your airbrush settings are not right, the temperature is high, or you've added a thinner. Our paints are already thinned, and ready to spray, so there's no need to add anything. Try turning your air pressure down and opening up the paint flow on your airbrush. Do your best to even out the coats in order to reduce the "dark" spots before applying your backer color.*

I was using a .5mm needle. It was taking forever.

Yes. Try using your biggest needle n needle tip. I have three sizes and used the biggest one, still need bigger for the body paint job, but it works
