Did you shake the can enough? I had a similar problem and I shook the can a bit more and it came out fine.

I think shaking it atleast 1 full min should do it or should I shake it longer?

I tried it once and it looked stripey too. I had everything redone in vinyl looks 10x better, definitely worth the extra money.

I shook it about a minute, then test sprayed something, to see if I need to shake it more, usually it did need to be shaken more.

The best way to do it is buy plasti dip in a can and use a cheap plug in spray gun. Check out www.dipyourcar.com

I was gonna link to my thread but you beat me to it!

Anyway, for doing larger surfaces like your roof I've heard that it's really tough to get even results spraying right out of the can. Do like Zak says and look into dipyourcar.com and check out their kits that include a spray gun thing.

lol, yeah but sometimes people have a specific problem or issue that hasn't been discussed much, that's what I think.

You guys are lucky. It's so cold here you couldn't spray it if you wanted to.

My question is: has anyone sprayed their flat/ribbed decklid panels with it?

The factory flat black paint doesn't hold up too well.

Yea tell me about it,another issue is when cold,it sprays very bad,I went and heated up the cans and its still not perfect but not stripy at all,now the difference is that the texture looks different in certain areas but not very noticeble

I've done my decklid medallion with it, and have had no problems with it adhering to sort of 3 dimensional shapes if that's what you're asking. Just make sure you're adjusting the angles you're spraying from as you go so that you're getting even coverage on all the different angles of the piece and it should be no problem.
