I was told 2 would suffice. But I would probably get 3.

I have not done it, that's just what a friend of mine told me.

I used under 2 cans of plastidip, did about 3 coats on each. I posted my review in a thread. You should be able to see it on my profile. I'm about 6 months in with it and it held up really well. Just be careful your first few months of cleaning and what not, as the 'dip' still will be slightly soft. Also watch out because the can will spray bubbles occasionally. It dries fast, but like I said, be careful as it takes time to set. If you have any further questions feel free to ask.

I didn't like it when I did mine, it was a pain to clean.

I would go ahead and get 3 cans. If you have it left over, do emblems or something.
