What sprayer and tip did you use?. did you use any thinner? I used the Earlex 5500, but couldn't get even coats with the 2.0 mil tip, tried the 1.5 mil tip and was getting blocked. Found using the 1.5 with 14 oz. of thinner per gallon worked the best for me.
I started with a 50/50 mix of thinner and dip, for the first two gallons but on the second two gallons I added just a little more dip. I would say after having a 50/50 mix I added an extra 28 oz of dip to it, just to get it a little thicker.
I used this spray gun. Sorry , I dont know the size of the tip that was in the box.

To get a good coat, there are three setting you can change on gun.
Pain flow: low as could go
Air Flow : high
How wide of an area pain sprays: wide
After messing aground , this is what I found worked really good to get a thin coat on.
Also for a side note to anyone going to do this. After doing the back half of my truck, I found it was a little hard to get in to some of the cracks and lines in my truck. So I took a few spray cans of plasti dip and painted all the seems and door handles. I went over them a good two or three times. This made it a lot easier to get in the lines where the cladding meets the truck or around the front grill.

Also to anyone going to do this. tapping off the windows seems like a good idea , unless you are going to get a good amount of dip on it. However, there seems to be no reason to spend time covering your lights. I spent less time just pealing plasti dip off my front light than I did tapping my back ones.
