The first time I ever did it, i used an automotive sprayer but thats meant for a different paint. So it came out really rough and with A LOT of texture.

Ive recently used, on this project, the DYC sprayer and it works wonders. The plasti dip (on the car) feels like a stain vinyl and looks the same. People have asked me if it was vinyl or have complimented me on the wrap.

I wasent a huge fan of it either but my BF came across Kandy Pearls. They have a huge selection of different color pearls and just had to experiment with them. I can honestly say i never did it with the intention of keeping it on but i have since, changed my mind

Plasti Dip is pretty delicate when it comes to "scrubbing" it. Its like vinyl in how it scratches. You can spray in down with a power washer and wash it with soap and water but you have to be a bit more gentle when it comes to finishing up the wash. You must use a microfiber cloth if not all the fibers from the cloth will stick to it.

Hope that helps.

I wonder how it would look if the base color was Laguna Seca Blue and the design was matte gunmetal?

Can someone photo shop that?
