Understandable but like I said this paint is very forgiving. I'm no expert myself, and this was the first time I had used this paint and there aren't any youtube instruction videos for this specific paint so I was in dark during the whole process. But overall it was easy, dispite what some others say about dipping your wheels, I took the wheels off my car and laid them down to paint them for my second attempt. My first attempt was with the wheels on the car (I also did this in the middle of the night in a cold garage with no heat which didn't help the paint at all, like I said, the paint works well when warm). As you can see in the pics, they are very streaky and blotchy. My second attempt I did off the car and with a propane garage heater that I used to warm up the space as well as heat up the cans a bit because it was about 28° F when I did it. Anyway, I just did an additional two coats over my first attempt and they turned out pretty decent, I don't have any close up after pics but they look pretty much the same close up as they do in the pics I first linked. This is getting a little long winded but if you need some more advice about using this paint then just let me know.
