Those "Irregularities" will not go away.

Your spray pattern was messed up and you accidentally coated the top portion will too much dip and it got a different texture because of how close or far away you were spraying.

Unfortunately thats gunna look tacky and you will eventually remove it. Ill put $10 on it.

The reason that I know this is because I have a TON of dip experience.

Cool thanks for pointers. I had same problem on my side mirrors, but at least partially disagree that they don't smooth out a little bit. My side view mirrors definitely look better now than they did when I first did them. It took a few washes etc but they are pretty even now.

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.

Yeah it's a fine balance of turkey/JD/Russian standard that will actually make you a good spray painter. Drink too little and you screw it up, drink too much and you may become a genius and be given the gift of vision. I have done a fair amount of painting(mostly acrylics some enamel) and some shellac work. Plasti dip has some characteristics of shellac, like the easy to repair/remove and it reintializes itself, you can't really tell how it looks until you look at it under 500 different lighting conditions from 500 different angles.

But for now I am happy. I will check that website out. Plastidip's customer service is as bad or worse than their distributors reading comprehension. I have gotten no help from them either.

And yes the nozzle does completely suck on the cans. Most of my painting has been done on model planes/cars and warhammer 40K figurines. Orcs Orcs Orcs Orcs.
