Default non textile pretreating

i have been printing alum license plates on my dtg since i got my first bottle of non-textile pretreat....but where i'm having some issues is with the pretreat.....i started out using a foam brush and coating the plates once, then letting them under the heat of the heat press to cure.....then, by accident, i coated a plate twice with the pretreat and the print came out so much more vibrant...and i've been doing it like that since....

the problem is: i don't always get a good coat on the license plate, and sometimes have to print two in order to have a decent print to give to the customer....supposedly i should be able to spray the pretreat but i haven't been able to get that to work to my liking....any suggestions??
