I am not so worried about it looking like a perfect paint job, I am more interested in the protection as I was getting some real dings from the track. Willow Springs is basically a desert filled with sand and round pebbles. Every time you go its like someone throwing a bag of marbles at your car.

If you really inspect it, yeah the irregularities are noticeable. Maybe I will try smoothing them out a bit on next coat(and drinking less Turkey while I do it).

I noticed that Plastidip advertises a "Smoke" and a "Clear" spray product. I wanted to try it with smoke, but god forbid you call every store in the area and ask them to custom order it. Home Depot, Ace, and some paint store I called on plastidip's distributor list all refused to do a custom order without any real explanation. I will press harder on them next time.

Nick, I used a one coat horizontal, one coat vertical. I tried to keep a steady distance of about 6-8 inches while doing the "walk like a crab" thing. Any other pointers for applying this stuff?
Haha I understand! Order a couple cans off DipYourCar.com

They have tons of colors and clear coats.

They sell a spray gun nozzle that you can buy for about $3. Itll help the spray pattern.

I re-dipped my spoiler a few weeks ago and i wasnt paying attention to my sprays. Now the spoiler has different textures. Ill have to re-peel and re-dip!...Maybe with some wild turkey.
