A quick tip, although Im not sure if it will actually work or not. They say hold it closer when you spray for a less textured look. Further away for more texture. Personally i like the slight texture I have on my fangs and rear valance.

hello, mr.onzedge!

hey thanks for the tip. actually the blobby mess smoothed out itself after the 30min drying time and wasnt bad at all. here's how it looked. i thought it turned out well for the project.



i took this one with me blocking the sun to give you an idea wat it looks like in low light.. it's kind of just a black burger...



i decided that it looked too black and plain for me so removed it. i thought it was well worth the try and it was kinda fun. anyway i proceeded to cleaning up the car and lightly touched the hood with my finger to see if wanted to use my duster as i normally do for cleaning up overspray dust...

the problem with this 'paint' is that it's not really paint... it's black adhesive. the overspray on the car was sticky as if i sprayed rubber cement all over the frikken car (actually cars because my G was also in the garage).

let me just say i was f-king pissed. (after my wife made me katsu-don i was ) so i pulled out my claybar and QD and started claying the worst areas. some of the reaaal bad areas i just went directly to my RC motor-spray into my MF towel and just wiped it all off as if removing tar. the sticky mess was on all top surfaces... fenders, doors, roof, glass, trunk lid, wing, wheel lip, etc. (not to forget my tool case, my mobile cabinet, detailing cart, etc)

at the end i went through about 20+ towels and about 2hrs of cleaning to get it all off. i SprayOn Waxed the Z to give it some boost. then proceeded to doing the same on my G. the G wasn't nearly as bad but still nothing like paint's overspray dust. this stuff is actually sticky and kinda gooey.

so, for those you thinking about using this product make sure your entire car is clean and use in low dust condition cause this sticky overspray will bond grit and all sorts of crap once it dries onto your paint. that little newspaper cut out with blue painter's tape is NOT going to cut it if you're anal about your car like me.
