Default Plasti-dip

I am going to plasti-dip the raised portion of my hood and my grill surround. Any ideas on how many cans I am going to need in order to do this?

Just guesstimate.. It's just like a regular can of anything that sprays.. You're going to want to use 3-5ish (or more) coats, so just try to visualize it. You can do the surround in EASILY 2 cans, not sure what/how big of an area on the hood you're talking about.

Edit: www.DipYourCar.com, and go to Forums.. Browse around a little bit.
