hurry, hurry! tape first! slow is not ideal, wet that coat, & get to pulling that tape up right away if you want sharp lines. only way. big areas need a spray gun for a quick pace.
The guy at DYC said, and I found out myself, is to waste no time in getting the tape off before it drys. Helps a lot to have more than one person so you can get it off even faster.
Think you got to make closer 50/50 strokes with the can to keep from getting the tiger striping. Doesn't look terrible though. Good job! You should get the gun from DYC and not use cans. You have a garage so I envy you. I live in DC so I can't do this.
I hate the fact that when u are peeling the tape the plastidip starts to lift up. Had the same thing happen to me. Idk if you have to let it dry longer. Any one have any idea?
I learned the hard way. You actually want to peel the tape while it is still wet. When plasti dip dries, it will stretch and pull on the striped part. Hope this helps.
my grille on my mercedes is plastidip in black....it goes thru car wash without issue. However, I like to wash my car by hand... I am doing stripes tomorrow ( in silver)
