This sounds like a stupid answer, but: Enough to make it blue again. The filter should look just like it did when it came out of the box.

That's actually not too bad of an answer Although I wouldn't go for the exact blue that it came as since the white cotton fabric will usually change in color over time. It is possible to get too much on there and you won't want to have it bleed through to the clean side. Also, I'd recommend a couple of light coats over one heavy one. This will allow you to gauge things a little better. I usually spray mine with a few coats and, at that point, it'll look blue again.
