How to test spray clear coat?

Ive sprayed clear on a few test panels and each time I have trouble making sure the test spray pattern looks good. With color its easy cause I can see it on the cardboard or masking paper but clear is tricky to get that football/cigar shape dialed in. Maybe I just need to clean my facemask better

Clear does make it harder, all you can do is to spray it on a paper that shows it like thin cheap paper something like newspaper.

I have decided to go with a solid color instead to make my chances better.
