I use prep-allThanks y'all. So come to find out the denatured alcohol was soaking into the sanded areas before paint. That's why the tails and vents came out like $H*T . So this time around I went back to the old school way and just used dish soap and water and everything laid down perfect. Which means I didn't lose my beast spray can skills, it was just a step that I added.
So now I'm motivated to paint more
Mine took 2-3. I didn't do the upper plastic pad tho.I need to dip my bumper. How many cans was yours?

Yea I've used it many a time when I worked at body shops and never had a problem. Maybe my garage was too humid , idk. This was a few weeks ago, but now that winter is officially here the air is more dry, mo betta for painting.Funny you mention denatured alcohol. It usually dries clean, but sometimes it creates an issue when it reacts or softens the surface it is meant to be cleaning.
Hence your soft and hazy non-beast painted parts originally. Have experienced this as well. Finished product winner.
I think around 3 cans. 6-7 coatsI need to dip my bumper. How many cans was yours?
Yep, alaska prices. No mernards. Home depot only has black and white colors at $7 a can. Same with Lowe's. Auto zone and napa only have black and white, maybe bright blue and bright red.9.99?! Wow. Don't they have it at your home depot, or better yet Menards if you have one there?
I've been playing with it a lot lately. People hate it or love it. I love it, think It's a great invention.....but yes it is the poor man's vinyl wrap lol. It's great to use for example like if you wanted to quickly hide the chrome till you have money or parts for paint. If done right it looks great, most (ive seen) can't do it right.thats a lot of platii-dip! i have honestly never used the stuff
