Default PlastiDip - Gallon or Spray cans

Basically Im going to end up plasti dipping my entire car. The stuff is fairly cheap and I can peel it off if I want to. The only thing that scares me is it peeling off BEFORE I want it to

Heres a plastidipped car to start your mind thinking



Basically they sell the stuff in spray cans for like $6 a piece and they recommend 20 cans for a car (although a crx is pretty small so I dunno how many cans to buy) but they also sell gallons of the stuff for $59 but they recomend there sprayer aswell which is $70

Aside from not recomending plastidip, what would you guys do? Gallon kit or spray can?

Any idea what would have better results / longetivity??

Im personally thinking spray cans just for ease of use and for the fact that I can do touchups/resprays easy, but Im not sure if it will lay as flat etc

I would suggest the gallons and their sprayer for a better result but on another note that stuff is super heavy from what I can remember.I had to coat some small stuff and it added a bit of weight and its pretty thick stuff which is going to be a pain where you need a tight fit like around lights and mouldings not to mention all the bolt holes.This is assuming you are going to prep the car right.

I think I set my mind on the spray cans anyways, quick, easy storage and touchups etc
