I'm considering shooting my own car this summer. I am thinking of using two stage paint and will be painting the exterior up to the weather rubber channels in the trunks and the door jambs.
Anyone know about how many gallons of paint it will take to shoot? I'm thinking three coats of base followed by two or three coats of clear. I've already finished most of the body work and have most of the car stripped and primered. Thanks |

Thanks for the input. As I'm a newbie, I'll go with the two gallons as you suggest. I'm repainting the car the original Aubergine and will be not be painting the bottom (not rotisserie) and don't plan on painting the trunks. I may do the engine compartment when I pull the engine but that's later.
Not sure I'm going to dive into this or not. My buddy has a paint booth but I'm not sure it's currently accessible. We'll see and I'll post if I do it myself. |
