When I spray the Plastidip, it comes out in little blobs. :wtf: Is that normal? Took about six coats to cover the chrome back bar and looks like lizard skin. I have painted a number of vehicles in the past, so even though I'm getting senile, I'm pretty sure it isn't my technique.
The can has been inside for about two weeks. I also brought it inside between coats. Next time I try this, it'll be warmer outside. I took everything apart thinking I would spray inside, but I had forgotten how many wires were now inside there as I added a number of items over the past year, so I just taped it off and let it hang.
Did you clean the part you are Plasti Dipping with an approved solvent to make sure there are no contaminents like oils that prevent adherence of the dip ?
^^ that happened to me 1 out of the 4 cans I bought from DipYourCar was bad. It sprayed out in droplets instead of a spray. Followed the directions, had the right temperature. It wasn't a prep issue, it was spraying out poorly. They were total jerks about replacing my can too, poor customer service.
Granted, I've only bought cans of Black or White, but I just pick them up at Home Depot or Lowe's - I bet it'd be way easier to return a bad can there.
Ewww yeah that's not looking good at all. That looks like baby's 1st crap that overwhelms the newborn size diapers the hospital gives you when you go home.
I'd also try to take the can back. Glossifier is a sensitive application where how you spray it plus humidity can change if you get gloss or frost look.
I just ended up with a ton of orange peel. It was shiny, but never felt dry. It seems to have "worn off" the last time I saw it (I used it on the grille on my brother's Buick), though it is still a little shinier than just regular Plasti-Dip.
