Nice attempt at the plastidip. I am sure you will get better each time you try it.
I think the biggest problem with your car is the wheel gap. Those offsets are clearly not for the Z. Those actually look like the Konig wheels I had on my Civic. If you change your wheels I bet the car will look 1000x better.

Plasti-dip can look awesome if done correctly. OP, the first time is tough, learn from your mistakes and you'll do much better next time. The first thing I ever dipped was a motorcycle helmet and it looked horrible. I was holding the can too far away and it was very rough in texture. Peeled it back off, shot it again and it turned out perfect. I've dipped my emblems and door handles on the Z, my wife's wheels on her Audi, and my entire motorcycle changing it from black to pearl white:

Op, I think you should have went with dip pearls, not feeling the flakes, especially on a chameleon pearl. Nice coverage though, maybe a layer of the new top coat would make it pop, but it's pricey right now.
BTW, if done right, dip will last 3-4 years easily, my wheels have the original dip on them since 2011, no peels or fades.
Current wheels on my Versa, 6 coats of black dip, 2 coats of gold metalizer.
