When buying paint...

For a full re-spray how much paint did you use?

I am planning on doing the door jambs too (but not the engine compartment).

Thanks in advance

dpends what color it is, some cover better and some are kinda transparent so you will need more coats, but all in all get a gallon of color and a gallon of clear...

Cool that is what I was figuring, just having paranoid visions of running out mid job LOL

I am doing black over black so no issues with transparency

Thanks.

PS - That'll be about 3 coats of each if I spray correctly right?
