Ugh. That dude gives me the creeps. Looks like he'd be the personal space invader at the gym.

Your head is so far up your own ass you're re-eating your own food.

You can't see shit in those pictures, especially not a "ton" of dry spots.

You 100% can see quality imperfections in this photo, just because you can't pick it up doesn't mean I can't. I've been in the body shop business for 18 years spotting shit paint work comes easy. The hood is super perky in the first pic, you can see this when you look at the glare, and the truck is super dry especially around the liscense plate The BMW dip job looks like fucking trash.

Well I guess this is a decent thread to pop my Zilvia cherry with. OP sorry to hear about the shitty experience. At the end of the day this stuff is still the same rubber in a rattle can that you buy at Home Depot, just done with a gun at a shop. As someone who wraps cars for a living I can't begin to tell you how many clients we have taken care of when it comes to stripping Plastidip off their cars and then doing a full color change with vinyl. Yeah, a solid paint job is the way to go, but if you are looking for something that is very damn close to a paint finish if done the right way as well as removable its hard to beat a professional wrap. You live and learn.

Do yourself a favor, consider making life easier on yourself. You already made a bad decision by having this shit-show of a shop spray dip onto your car. Fortunately, that stuff shouldnt be too bad to remove. However, you can make life even easier by getting rid of that silly ass wing and those cheap aftermarket bumper/fenders/hood.

Your lucky that your car is new and parts are readily available. Order a new OEM bumper, fenders, hood, and just ditch all that garbage you've acquired - its not worth a damn anyway, cheapass fiberglass shit. Now you have fresh new body panels that you can repaint. If you want OEM pearl, fine, but at this point you can probably save a few bucks going with a solid white. You dont want to extreme of a color change - you want to stay within the same range of paint as what the car was originally painted. This way, rock chips and other defects wont be so noticeable.

Do yourself a favor and use this as a learning experience of what NOT to do: avoid shitty dip products, avoid shitty shops, and avoid installing cheap ass aftermarket aero. This may come off as harsh but trust me, you need to move past this fast and furious bullshit.
Im just replying to show you what a proper garage set up can result BEFORE any cutting or buffing.

So, kindly piss off.

But I agree, I wouldn't garage-job a 30k 370z.
