It is true that if you don't put enough on then it looks like dick.

If you add the clearcoat you get a little more stability to the color.

you do have to super-heavy coat areas that are high traffic like your door handles and your sideskirts.

you also have to let each coat cure for about 40 min so they get nice and dry so the next coat sticks nicely.

that being said, it's personal preference, and I use plasti-dip to cover a shitty paint job until I can get the scratch together to get a good one... since to strip it it takes about 30 minutes total...

my 2 cents.
This is exactly why you SHOULDN'T plastidip your car.
