He should have taken that $300 and lowered that monster truck of an E90.

Let´s not judge too soon. The guy says he still has to put on another coat. When you paint a car, plasti or regular paint, it always looks crap before you put on the final layers....

I have seen many many plastidip cars and they look flawless if done with 4-5 coats. I plan on doing it to my car. $300 for a years of usage is going to be incredible for me...it also helps cover up some scratches lol. I get to change the color to white instead of black as well. With me having to drive 5-10 miles a day, I think it should hold up well.
