How Much?

[diablodude64]

Hey everyone! I am in the process of painting my car. I don't want to buy to much material but I also don't want to not have enough. So the question is how much primer, basecoat and clearcoat is needed for an s13? Thanks, Kyle

buy too much, save receipt, return the rest?

I got a gallon worth of primer (mix's a gallon) and a gallon of single stage paint. I am spraying entire car, under the hood, all the jams. I waned to make sure I had enough cause I would rather not run out while spraying. I paid $180 and that also included a mask, tape, drop cloths, and they threw in free sticks and strainers.

How many coats are you looking to put on it will determine a lot of it and if your paint is still ok scuff and spray it . Paint usually a gallon will cover everything with a good couple coats as you may want more since yours is a single stage paint .(clear already in it )and it goes way deeper on prep and stuff look up how to paint your car via th web ,watch vids .

what do you mean?

your comment is confusing

I only paid $180 for all of paint and its a decent paint brand. As long as everything is preped well and you get your paint from a reputable source you can get it for less that $700 and be happy.

I am planning on doing 3 to 4 coats of each. I am doing a bc/cc system.
