It takes only minutes to dry between coats which is awesome. Wagner electric middle of the road priced paint gun will do from Home Depot. I'd mask off the center of the windows but you can leave about 1-2" of window exposed because you will have built up a lare from painting around it. This stuff is pretty cool and it's so forgiving to work with in terms of drips or runs. Just paint over it and it will blend in.

Here's something important to note. Set the gun's trigger on less paint (minus sign vs plus sign) and start with less output. Also, when you start painting, even if you stop for a couple seconds, point the gun away from the vehicle and touch the trigger once to get the paint moving. I found it splattered a little at first when the paint started moving but after that you're good to go. Have fun with it and post your results here.

I payed $130 for a gallon of Plasti-dip and I wouldn't recommend using the individual cans to spray your car; you need to build up layers and I think you'd go through a ton of cans trying to do that without any really great result. I paid $100 for the spray gun also.
