The plasti dip is coming out chunky and not like paint at all? It's not working very well for me. And I'm shaking the can very vigorously for a solid minute, not sure what's going on...

It's about room temp in my garage, I can wear shorts and a t shirt and i won't be cold at all. So it's not cold.

Plus that's where I'm having difficulties getting the paint in there because i try getting in the crevices but it having a "spray" nozzle it goes there and around the area so it gets thick surrounding the area.

I've done two rims, and from a far they look not bad and you probably won't notice unless you observe but just need some tips possibly for my next two rims or next time I plasti dip something.

How does plasti dip hold up in the rain/ snow and also under a wash with a regular hose and pressure washer?

Nice that looks good aswell! Love plasti dip! Both my dad and brother said they don't like the silver caps on the car lol, but they did off the car. I might plasti dip them and see which looks better.

I call BS on 4 cans for an entire car. I plasti dipped my friends entire car and we used about 15 cans and should have used more.

Ya I was thinking 4 was really low as I used 1.5 for my rims.

Ok about five cans max with left overs its about 2-3 coats of paint about two hr max n touch up with one can here n there but very easy to clean.

So did you just tape off windows, lights, side markers, rims, and just hand sprayed it with plasti dip cans?
