WOW 1.5 gallons ...really guys ??? I can do a 914 with 3 quarts of base and a gallon of clear. AND have clear left over.

To give you an out Rich, I assume you mean 1.5 gallons REDUCED right ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Or maybe 1.5 gallons of single stage AFTER mixing Right ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Scotty;

You professional guys don't waste as much paint as us regular guys!!!!!!! (think of this as a complement)

I don't feel that 1.5 gallon of base color is far off if painting trunk areas and engine compartment.
