I have an over the phone/internet price of $6K. Going back original black car. Car to be painted inside and out with sealer on the bottom. Everything is ready to go. Completely stripped to shell. Says it will be ready in two weeks. Good price? What is the consensus?

Mentioned in a few post above, 1 gallon of paint. Do we really need a gallon of paint for our car? Or is it a question of as soon as you buy a couple of quarts, might as well get a gallon for the same price?
Just wondering... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Mentioned in a few post above, 1 gallon of paint. Do we really need a gallon of paint for our car? Or is it a question of as soon as you buy a couple of quarts, might as well get a gallon for the same price? Just wondering... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Last time I painted my 914, 2 quarts is not nearly enough. Had some leftover from the gallon for wheels, touch up, etc. Your assessment of the economics of paint is correct. Just like any paint at Home Depot, buy the time you spring for 3 quarts, you really could have had the gallon. Plus I'd rather not have to deal with color variation quart to quart and the subsequent need to mix them in a 3rd container to blend them. Buying a gallon solves that problem. P.S. Edit: To align to MB911's comment about not needing a full gallon of color if doing base coat clear coat and/or 2 stage paint. This was back in the days of single stage enamel and prior to HVLP spray guns. Coverage was all exterior surfaces, interior, wheel wells, inside trunks, engine bay. No underbody floor coverage. Still had almost about 2/3 quart left from the gallon. |
