Thanks fellas. I did it the lazy man's way - rattle can. And since it was a long work in progress I did it in stages. If you are going to do it all at once I recommend the kit (buy by the gallon and use the DYC sprayer). The rattle can route is easy, but for large areas (hood, roof) it doesn't look as good and doesn't go on as thick (you'll get streaking). It took MANY cans (I lost count), but again I did it in stages. I find that the paint is very easy to work with once you figure it out. The prep is easy, I just cleaned the car, made sure it was DRY, then wiped the panel I was going to spray with 50/50 water and alcohol using a clean cloth. Then sprayed away. First coat goes on light; once it dries (about 5 min) you can then spray on thicker coats. You will need several coats, but it's easy since it dries fast. Just be sure to clean the spray tip in between each coat - very important (be anal about it, invert can, spray til clear then wipe tip with acetone). You need to experiment with how temperature affects the final coat appearance (colder days and it is "bumpier" - warmer days and it's a bit smoother....anyway, it's a good 15 foot paint job. It's not as durable as I thought - but perhaps it's because it's not as thick as it should be (using the DYC sprayer throws down a lot more paint)....It can handle a power sprayer for cleaning, but if you scratch it with a sharp object, expect the need to do a repair (which is easy...just blend the scratch with acetone on your finger tip or a glove and re-spray)....I would recommend waxing it with spray wax as well once dry, should help it last - use Turtle Wax T-477R Ice spray wax - it won't leave white residue). I had some body work done AFTER I sprayed most of the car and it was fairly easy to blend...again, from 15 feet it looks OK...much better then the old paint for sure though. Best part, if you don't like it, just peel it off (you have to have it on thick though to be able to easily peel it off). Recommend doing the tail gate first to see if you like it.
Oh I forgot to add....when masking off the car, be sure to remove the masking tape while the paint is still wet! You have to do this fairly quickly after the final coat, Once it dries the masking tape may pull off the plasti dip....so ensure that last coat is thick and still glossy/wet while you remove the masking tape, etc.
