Default my turn for plasti dip

been waiting for one of you homos to plasti dip an entire truck i'm tired of waiting. i have some rattle cans coming in to see how i like the color. metallic anthracite gray and aluminum along with a can of clear to see if i want a semi gloss look. i'm tired of looking at the black hood/grill/bumper on my red truck. and i hate red lol. i think i've seen anthracite gray plasti dip on a car before and it's one of those colors that a picture doesnt do justice...but here is a few pics of anthracite gray dip anyways

It's VERY hard to get even coverage out of a rattle can on large areas.

I Hope it looks great though.

i got the cans to play around and see exactly what the color looks like. computer screen vs first person can differ big time.

if i pull the trigger, i want the DYC professional kit.
