    All right now I am a WI redneck from way back back stuck in GA right now...

    I have an old 99 ranger ext I use for deer hunting and want to paint it, thinking of a flat green going to use krylon spray paint.. I can lay a paint job down pretty good using krylon..

    My question is how many cans 8,10,12 more?

    this color.

    Yes, Krylon is awesome to paint with... and based off the duck boat we just painted which took 8 cans, I'd but nothing less than fifteen. I'd rather have extra to return than not enough when I'm in the middle of painting. Never hurts to have extra touch up paint too.
