you can't do large surfaces like that with a plasti dip spray can. it's not a consistent spray so it will end up blotchy and with lots of streaks like yours. if you want it to look right, you need a compressor and gun.
i have heard that you can wipe down the surface after spraying with a chemical and it sort of evens out the plasti dip so it doesn't look blotchy. you could search what it is and try it out. then report back here.

Ya I wouldn't do the whole car with the spray can. There is a solution to fix mistakes and I am going to buy the sprayer very soon. They also just came out with a better spray can tip. I'm waiting for taxes and I will be buying all of these things. I'm going to keep going with these cans though. I have more videos and there are jobs I did without blemishes or problems. The bigger areas are harder to stay consistent with but I am working on it. More videos coming soon! Pm me to plasti dip your cars/emblems/wings/grills/wheels/lips !!

cooler temps, not cold Thin works too but you have to be careful that you dont get the tiger striping or rough, dry texture.

I meant did you have any pictures of a large flat surface that you painted with a plasti dip can W/O the tiger striping. Because if it can be done I'd like to see it.The OP's jobs still have tiger striping. I know you have painted a ton of stuff, but with paint it can be sanded and evened out.

I'll do one just for you. It's really cold right now though. But I'll show you it can be done.

You cant sand out tiger striping with paint either. Ive done a few larger surfaces that were flat with great results from plasti dip in a can, i dont have pics though. it was done on our last ice racer. I even painted a car with spray cans once and it turned out better than a macco paint job. The new spray tips on the plastidip cans help spray better too.

Yup it's perfect for calipers. It looks as good as the day I sprayed it. I didn't even clean off the caliper before dipping it either lol. Way better than that crappy duplicolor caliper kit which flakes off after 6 months or so.

Yeah they have been through two or three major snow storms, tons of rain and salt, stop and go traffic (braking from 50-10 a LOT), and even a few brake services and there's no peeling or discoloration. You can even use it on your brake rotor hubs if they are rusting.

As long as you dont do a lot of spirited drives or auto-x or lapping days. Last time i went out my rotors were as red as red gets and my pads were on fire Plastidip wouldnt hold up to that

Im thinking of spraying my iceracer to look like this.
I see they make it in a spray can now, i might buy a bunch of cans and spray it with rattle cans just to show it can.
