Default Plastidip ?

Anybody that has done it, roughly how many cans would it or did it take to do both the front and rear bumpers? How many coats would you recommend?

I'd say easily 3 cans, when doing wheels they say 1 can a wheel.

Id buy 4, can always take one back. And get glossifier also. Nothing worse than matte dip against gloss paint

A can per wheel?? I did all 4 of mine with a little over 1. Mind you I only sprayed the outside.

I've got four cans of it with the glossifier cans with it as well that I never used. Traded in the truck before I used it. I'd be happy to sell if anyone is interested

I have Sterling Grey and am planning on doing Anthracite as from what I have read so far it is the closest to Sterling without doing the Black and doing a Duplicolor match. Thanks though!

After roughly 110 pages of reading on the big Plastidip thread I only saw one person comment on total coats for bumpers. They said they used 2 total. I was thinking 5-6 coats would be better for this unless someone else can chime in before I continue with the other 130 pages.

I plasti dipped both bumpers, used about 1-1/2 cans a bumper, sprayed 1st coat, waited 25 mins(heated garage), sprayed 5 more coats a little bit thicker. Waited around 15-20 mins between each coat following the first. Live in Alaska, lots of rocks on the roads(used as a traction aid). Has held up well, had it on for about 2-1/2 months. The thicker it is (more coats) the more resilient it is.
