How many cans of paint do you think it will take to cover a 1989 Jeep Cherokee with just one coat of paint? I'll be using the Krylon Fusion Camoflauge Flat Tan. Also, it's supposed to be sunny all next week with no rain and the warmest day is supposed to be Wednesday with highs in the upper 50's. Will it be okay to paint in this weather? 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 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.
