Help Plastidippers

I got tired of working on the truck so I thought I would give the plastidip a try,my car was feeling neglected. Did the front spoiler,mirrors,halo, and rear fascia.The spoiler and mirrors came out great,but the other two came out rough looking where as the spoiler and mirror are smooth. Why is this, am I not shaking the can enough,spraying too close,or not allowing the first coat to dry long enough? Took pics,but you really can't tell from them so I'm not posting them. Thanks for your help in advance, L8R ZFLASH

I notice when I spray heavier coats that the texture is a bit more rough.

if you spray to heavy of a coat..it will want to run..and it will have a more textured look to it...light thin coats..that equal out to 4 or 5 coats is what has worked for me
