I did around 6 to 7 very light coats 20 to 30 minutes between coats with the can about 5 to 7 inches away from the rims when spraying. Something I should mention is that directly after spraying it will likely have a fogged look, let it dry for at least 12 hours then take a dry Q-tip for small objects or a cloth (cut up t-shirt) for larger objects and gently buff it, it should shine up beautifully.
