Probably 2 gallons gunmetal for a base coat like a primer, then mix 2 gallons white with 1 gallon of pearlizer.

Indeed! looks good man, just keep it garaged all the time so it takes longer to fade as well!

And to anyone interested it is much cheaper if you thin the gallons yourself. The website awarehouseful sells unthinned gallons, all you do is thin it 50/50 with VM&P Naptha or Xylene which is what plastidip does and you basically get 2 gallons for a price of 1 of their pre-thinned gallons.

Got a question for you plasti-dip gurus- I just tried plasti dipping (spray can) my rear wing on my Lambo today and I cant seem to get it even looking. Im still getting spray lines after 4 or 5 coats.

Any suggestions?

Im planing on doing the lower portion of my car (gun not can) so I might just peel this off the wing and do it again when I get the spray gun...

The first couple of coats should be very light, and the rest heavy and thick.
