I dipped my diffuser, but the texture is rough/coarse. Is it possible to get a better/smoother texture finish with plasti dip?
Am I doing it wrong?

Adjust spraying distance. It'll never be silky smooth but it shouldn't be coarse either.

Farther away? I'll try it, thanks.

Nice job :thumbs: the finish is very good!

Tried my hand at the can spray but was a flop :facepalm:
Will redo it with more spraying distance.

"MOST IMPORTANT THING - there is a very small forgiveness zone as far as the distance of the spray. Too close - and it will be too thick, show streaks, and bubble up with little pin holes. Too far away - and it won't bond, will be way too textured, and will look like crap. The issue here is that once you find the good distance - which is about 6 inches away - you CAN NOT f*ck up. it doesn't matter if it's the first coat, or the last - if you go in too close on even one spray - you will have to redo the entire panel - because it will stick out like a sore thumb. Use a sweeping motion, releasing the trigger on each side to side pass.. and pay close attention to the distance of the spray."

Try again, G'luck :thumbs:

Saw the car at Arts on Main yesterday and man does it look good! I am considering this over vinyl now!

Assume you can create any color under the sun?

What would the cost be, and how long would it take to do a 645ci?
