Sorry, I forgot about this thread. Just a fyi. I believe that ultimately there were 2 issues.

1. It was too hot. When I went out at 3 am and it was about 70 degrees it worked fine.
2. While the plasti-dip guy videos says "Spray at 6 inches" when you watch the video you see he is really about a foot away.

When I sprayed from ONE foot away at 70 degrees it came out fine.

Ultimately I am pleased with the end results. It's now 9 month later and the plasti dip is holding up well. NO rips, tears, wind wear. Looks like it may last a while longer.

Yes please post pictures...I have been told I should try this method out with the plasti dip. I want to know what the end result will look like when done right ! I have all the compressor tools and such just need the gun and dip. I have been holding off to see what it would look like all finished.
