One. It was all I was able to do, cause my grandma (this is in her complex I couldn't do it at my house cause my driveway is an incline, and I could get ran over doing it in the street so her complex gave me all the room I needed) her neighbors were starting to complain cause apparently your not allowed to work on your car in the complex. DUMB But it still looks pretty good with 1 coat.
