I peeled it off and ill try it again tomorrow. It looked like wrinkle textured black, wasn't what I was after. I didn't turn the can after each application.

I got the same result in some spots. I painted parts in my enclosed trailer and then shut the door thinking I'm going to keep dust and pollen off of the fresh dip. Well that bit me in the butt because the over spray had nowhere to go and went back on the parts. I peeled it off and going to try again, but keep the trailer door open and have a box fan blowing outward. Some sections were smooth I just have to get a good procedure down.

Today I did the fork lowers, trees, turn signals, and battery box...everything looks amazing! As always, being a video *****, I made a video. I made a lot of mistakes at first but this stuff is pretty forgiving. The color matches my Denim Black perfectly. I bought all 7 cans on the shelf so I can do it again when it starts to wear off.

You will be suprised how durable it is as is.........3 to4 coats and a day to harden a bit......very tough stuff.

I dont know bout this stuff. It's possible I have bunk nosels on my cans I bought. I'm getting tons of droplets. I have shaken the hell out of it and I think my garage is optimal temp but it seems to spray with alot of overspray so when it dries it looks textured like wrinkle black.
Any tips?

Between coats i pulled my nozzles and put them in a jar of lacquer thinner. when i was ready to spray my next coat i would pop one on and it was clear and sprayed well..........if i didn't do this....when i was ready for my next coat the nozzle would spit and spray uneven

How long are you guys waiting between coats? I do 5-10 minutes between coats, and I try to do 4-6 light coats. I have had the best results this way.

Is there not a lot of overspray with this stuff? It doesnt look like you covered much of the bike when you sprayed it. How easy is it to get overspray off if you do get some?
