I decided to give it a shot the other day, since I was off work. I tried it out on my spoiler, and it turned out baaaaaddd. Yall's looks very uniform and smooth, whereas mine is extremely grainy and you can see the inconsistencies all over it. What did I do wrong? I cleaned it, wiped it down all over with alcohol, and used several light coats. Any thoughts?

Anythings possible. I was worried when I did mine so I was kinda **** about it. I did 3 or 4 nice even coats. Let each coat dry @ least 30 minutes like the can says. At first each coat was rough looking but each one smoothed out over the 30 minutes.

I did the lower part of the front air dam and I let each coat dry about 30 minutes or more and it came out great. Thinking about doing the back of the trunk lid around the faux gas cap.
