To Sum it up, plasti dipping your car as a newbie will be challenging at first,
especially if you want that smooth clean consistant finish.
Also, this process is like a trail and error, if a paint starts to run or drip, you would have no choice but to do it all over again if you know where i am coming from.
What color is this? Blue or blaze blue? Did you add anything to it?

I would put on more coats to get that nice matte finish.

Just did my roommate's new ride (Mazda 3). Black emblems look much better, though I prefer the shaved look.
