There was a lot of talk about this before on here. There is a lot of info on the internet on other forums about this. If you are serious about doing it I would do a lot of research. I liked the look of it. One guy changed the color of his car on a regular basis. I think the main thing is to do thin coats.

For large panels (such as hood), start super light. It doesn't have to cover 100%, in all honesty maybe 50%. A light first coat is crucial. Then each additional coat (after time for drying) can be progressively heavier. I did 4 coats on hood and I think I could have stopped at 3.

If you're serious about it I recommend a kit or different sprayer. My hood is fairly uneven due to me being a first time user of plastidip and it was straight from the can. You can get an awesome final product with better means of application. After doing the hood I thought about doing roof and continuing it onto trunk as well just to tie everything together lol.. But I decided against it because I don't see my hood being in this state for more than a few more months.
