hi

i am going to paint my 914 porsche yellow but dont know how much to get. ive heard that its a good idea to paint a white layer first then the yellow.

thx

You don't need to shoot a white coat but.... You want to shoot a light colored primer first for 2 reasons. Actually 3. First, a high build primer will fill in the minor imperfections. Second, the primer gives the paint something to bite into for good adhesion. Finally, the primer will give the pigment a "canvas" for uniform color. Regarding quantity, are you cutting in the trunks, engine compartment and door jambs? Or, are you just shooting the outside panels? Theres a big difference in quantity there.

Hi Kilo

Welcome to the board

Any body work will start with your choice of materials.
Quality paints will have no problem covering, crap will.

Do you have a gun or is this rattle canned ?

hi

thanks for replying. i have a gallon of the yellow. i plan on painting the outside. like the hood, trunk, sides. ill leave the doors interior and the engine compartment to spray cans. i rolled on a layer of the rubber truck bed liner onto the interior and cabin, front and rear trunk so i dont have to paint the inside.

i have a gun to paint.

A gallon is probably more than enough then.
