The key is to do several light coats. Then you don't get any running.

You don't have any zebra stripes? It looks good in pics, but I suspect they could be visible at many angles. And this is based on a lot of time spent browsing the dyc forums. They just heavily recommend against cans on any large surface, much less an entire vehicle. :P

Regardless, the idea and mix of green and black itself is bold and overall I still like it.

One thing is for sure - you have *****.

It looks good...I'm not that brave.

No zebra stripes. I had them up until maybe the 5th coat. If you spray further away it will prevent it from caking up in those overlap areas and prevent the stripes. I was worried about it while I was mid way through so did some research and found that truck. It worked too.

I wasn't that worried about it since you can just peel this off if it looks like crap. The camo colors are flatter also so less room for error.

Ha! I'll take that as a compliment. It really does look badass in person. A guy at the gas station asked me about it and couldn't believe I did it with rattle cans.

Did you at least get a lot of those cans during their last sale? :P
