I just got a new full size Chevy Truck. How many cans of Can Coat will it take to do a complete job on this vehicle, I have never used Can Coat before ?

One can will easily do multiple coats and multiple vehicles.

You only need 10-15ml of product per average size vehicle. Can coat gives you alot of value per bottle

Also, a little tip that helped me to not over apply the product, i bought a little 2oz spray bottle from DI and only put the 10-15ml of product in. Really helped me gauge how much i was using. Just my personal preference

One and you’ll likely have some left over. I have plenty left after my Lincoln Navigator L.
 
About a 1/4 of a can. There is plenty to coat multiple vehicles in the can.

First time users go heavy on the first application.
 
Here is what I got out of one can and still had about 1/3 left:

- 3x applications to a Mk6 VW GTI
- 2x applications on a 2013 Toyota Highlander

My can went bad long before I could use it all up. I can't help but wonder if they would increase their customer base if sold a can half the size of what they offer now. It would be much better suited to people who only have a couple cars. Add the fact it lasts upwards of 12 months and really don't use it up very fast. I'm sure I'm not the only one who lost product due to wastage.

Yes i did go heavy my first time lol, and i remember you telling me that after i commented on it in a thread last year. I have since backed off and application has gone much smoother.

But my comment on you saying to use about 1/4 bottle..was that real? I only ask because gyeon states ya only need 10-15ml per vehicle. Thats where i got that number.

Im not being a wanker, im genuinly asking. Just want to make sure im doing it correctly.

You will have plenty of CanCoat left. I use CanCoat EVO on my trim and tonneau cover for my RAM. It's very easy to use and the can is 200ML enough to coat your ride at least 2 to 3 times.

As for 1st time use, IMO a thin coat is all you need. Going heavy will cause streaks and High Spots. Thin to win.
 
in case you haven't realized, one can is plenty for several coats on several cars

I however used a full can on my first bike, on account of me being a newb and all....i'll be honest, i have no idea how I got that much on a motorcycle

just being honest....about 1/8 of a can did my brother's motorcycle, 2 coats ......... lil bit goes a long way
 
Definitely can do multiple vehicles. Just remember to remove the spray nozzle and flush in water. Seal with screw-on cap. I missed that on the package instructions until I had 2 spray nozzles clog up after use.

The op states a Chevy truck. If it’s a silverado then that’s a more coating use than say a Colorado. Also taking into account coating trim and wheels.

10-15ml is for an average size vehicle. Something larger gets you closer to 30 ml.

For a first timer learning to use the product it’s closer to the 20-25 ml mark.

Thanks for this guz, really helps me out.

I clearly misinformed the OP.

as well, Gyeon makes a Rim coating made for the high heat and harsh particulates that gets on rims, works a lot like CanCoat....i did a '21 Street Glide and used it on the front and rear rims, super easy to apply

they give you a little applicator and a block to help you make quick work of broad flat surfaces, but you may find yourself needing to get into some more tight spaces...with nitrile gloves on, wrap one two fingers in the applicator cloth, and secure with a rubber band, this way you can focus on poking and prodding and getting product into the nooks and crannies without trying to keep ahold of the cloth
 
I’ve written about this before, one of the biggest mistakes that us old-school guys make with the new coatings and sealants, is we naturally use too much. Why? Because we need to see it go on, and lay on the surface as we're coming from waxes etc, and many new sealants you don’t have to do that. Watch a few YouTube videos and you’ll find it a couple spritzes on a fender, And then you spread it, is enough. It’s a little bit like the emperors new clothes, you have to just believe that it’s enough… Lol.

Using Collinite 476 will break you of the "use too much" habit real quick. Lol

This helped me tremendously when I first applied a coating. :)
 
Nozzle cleaning is super important with CanCoat. My 1st bottle taught me that imperative. I managed to clog all 3 package sprayers! I was basically screwed with half the bottle remaining. I tried applying it with my brick style applicators and didn't like it. Their recommended folded towel app is my favorite. And quicker.

I now religously and immediately flush them out after each use. I did go up to a local beauty supply store and buy 5 2oz spray bottles for the future just in case.

I offer my least expensive ceramic coating package using CanCoat because of the relatively low cost. It's a good entry level ceramic for customers. Once they see how much they like it some have opted for my premium coating package. $$$$!

It does go on thin, thin and did I mention thin. I was trained on thin a couple decades ago using Zaino (oops, dirty word around here). Also, like Paulie said, Collonite was another "thin" trainer. The initial post above got a flinch cringe from me..."how many bottles to do my truck?". Ouch.
