I just finished the 12th coat of thinned rustoleum and put back enough parts on the car to drive it on the street while I wait several weeks before buffing. I could have stopped at 8 coats (for coverage of white over white primer over blue base) but I put on 4 more coats because I am a novice and wanted to give myself some "insurance" as a first time buffer! Looks much better than the original paint for sure...
