one can may be enough. i did 1.5 heavyish coats. you can probly do 2-3 coats outta one can. its good to have too much, it would REALLY suck if you run out mid coating. you may need to clearcoat, too. i masked off my clear upper sections, tinted the bottom part, then took off masking tape, sanded the "tapeline" with 600 grit. then wetsanded the whole tinted section with 1000 grit. then clearcoated it.

i just used rustoleum clear coat. its not bad, but the nozzle is old skool, not the nicer ones with the fan spray pattern(its easier to overspray with that type). and i WET sanded between coats with 1000 grit.
