I bedlined my last Jeep in the winter of '08 in Sub-30 degree weather without knowing that you're not supposed to paint in weather that cold and it turned out perfectly fine so I'm assuming I should be fine. Do you have any tips? I'm thinking of removing everything that I can remove next Monday and sanding all that needs to be sanded. I'll wash the Jeep good before and after I sand it. Then on Tuesday I'll mask everything off and start on painting it Wednesday around lunch or a little earlier. These 4 days on, 10 days off work weeks leave me with a lot of time on my hands.
i would atleast buy one can per panel

I was thinking of getting 10 cans and going from there. I read a tutorial on how to paint an XJ flat tan and the guy that did his covered his Jeep in two coats with 17 cans.
