I never had a problem with Plastidip, but I like that sheen alot. I am about to do my doors, and that is the texture I am going for.

I was really happy with the end result. I have used this spray before and always happy.

It was three light layers. It goes on even, and doesn't show the difference between the thin and thick parts nearly as bad as plasti-hell.

Default Plasti Dip for key holes-uhhh not as good.

I've had good results with plasti dip, except with a key hole. Not sure if someone tried using the key with it (I lend out my ride to my family every now and then) I've done all my emblems and finished my chopped antenna with it. Click image for larger version

Finally got this done. Can't believe how easy it was. Few pointers to pass along. Not only do you not want to spray them in the sun but make sure your rims are cooled off before attempting. Had to redo the spare tire because the rim had been sitting in the sun and I didn't wait for it to cool off. Also the tips of rubber gloves work great to cover the valve stems.
