Default Spray painting my jeep

Hey guys, im kinda new to this forum. Bought a wrecked 93 cherokee country edition. Its my first jeep. It was completely stock. Since then i fixed all the damages put a 4.5" short arm lift and I'm running 33x12.5 tires. Now I'm trying to spray paint it flat army green. And I'm trying to figure out the beat way to go about it so it will look good. Suggestions?

Lots of prep and a nice warm day and if your spray bombing one of those gun trigger can holders work awesome to help keep a steady hand and your finger don't get sore after the first can!

Depends on how many coats.
I would say. Two or three coats. 6 to 8 cans with left over

There are other threads on doing this. Zombie jeep went from white to army green and it came out good.

I did the same thing on my first cherokee, I'm pretty sure I used rustoleum, only took about 6 cans. Definitely go for the more expensive spray paint, better quality and more coverage per can.
