It'll fill in, if there are any imperfections after a coat you can go over it and it'll meld to what you've already sprayed and do a better job filling. The other thing to note is that when you peel it off, your finish will be noticeably worse than when it went on. I had a buddy do it on his black C30 for ****s and giggles and took it off a couple days later... He said he'll never do it again, that's how bad the paint was after.

But me being in the spraying business, please please PLEASE use a spark-contained unit to spray this stuff. Dipyourcar uses our (Wagner) HVLP units in their videos, but they are not spark-contained and Plastidip has a flashpoint of NEGATIVE 20 degrees Fahrenheit. They may work VERY well for it, but they'll also work very well for blowing yourself up if the electric motor builds up a significant static charge while spraying this stuff.

This is not my level of expertise but, whats the rubbing alcohol for? Did yo order the paint from dipyourcar and how much was yor spray gun and do you find it better to just buy a seperate gun as opposed to buying one of their pro kits.

Like, an HVLP conversion gun of some sort? If so, is your compressor spark-contained? If not, same issue. Body shops can use those guns because the compressor units are in a separate room from the shop.
