Just got done plastidipping my 2007 335i grill. The whole thing feels really textures and ruff to the touch! Is this normal? Is this suppose to dry textured or smooth? Any help is appreciated.

When I did mine the surface was smooth for the most part. Sounds like you didn't do steady even coats. Peel it off and do it again.

Nope u did it wrong.. Peel it off.. Make sure u prepped the surface good and didn't leave any cleaning solutions on the grille. Now I have ran into the rough texture before. Usually caused because of direct sunlight making it dry to fast. U need to apply thin coats and make each coat thinker as u go. If u apply to fast the plasti dip won't settle good enough and could cause it to be rough.. And make sure to keep a steady hand while spraying it.
