Tbh, i just applied Electric tape on it, because it was hard for me to take it off
even though i followed the steps on praying it out. Really hate how BMW
designed the access to the grille. If i spray dip in it, i would need at least a
paper cardboard to protect the Radiator behind it from over spray which i cant fit it.

Of course, you can spray the plastidip through a professional-grade paint gun. But you'd probably have to buy one yourself because I don't know any bodyshop owner in their right mind that would let plastidip run through their gun. So buying your own paint gun set up would defeat the purpose of saving money. At that point you might as well pay a couple hundred for a good wrap job instead. Not only is it just as reversible, it will look smoother and no streaks.

I could see the problem why his came out like a Zebra like.
1.When spraying plasti dip it is really temperature sensitive
2. Probably the person that spray the car brought the full strength Black Gallon and thinned it himself, therefore the Black Tint (gives the color ) is divided into half.
3. He needs to apply more coats thus requiring more paint . Since his stock color is White.
4. He sprayed it too far, his spraying technique is not consistent.
On the Audi, there is nothing wrong with it, since it is done right.
I personally Plasti Dipped my car i have all the equipment do to it, especially the paint gun, and other several full body cars that my
friends own. Of course. If your are new to this and doing it by yourself, there
is guaranteed to be alot of trial and errors. Me on the other hand have
learned and form my own technique over a year.
