The other thing you need to make sure of is to avoid runs. This is why light coats are better than a single thick coat. Not only does the thick coat take exponentially longer to dry, you also run the risk of runs as well as welling (gathering of material) near corners.
Do you suggest I get it professionally done and pay a lot more than me doing it? Is it a rather easy task or should I get it professionally done? I could save good money if I do it myself, however, I want it to look nice. Thing is, I'm making less than 10$ an hour, and on top of that, I have school work to do, so me saving money is my top priority now in customizing my car.
