How much should it take to spray the trunk and inner fenders of a 70 RoadRunner? It took 2 guns and that seemed like a lot to me. So how much will it take to do the body without the doors,hood and trunk lid? I just don't want to run out of paint. Thanks Ronnie
Not enough info. Base clear or SS????
If SS I'll say buy the gallon, it will be a little more than you need but the pricing of paint offers a significant discount for the gallon (often is about the equivelent $ of buying three quarts) Thats for the whole car minus doors/hood/trunk lid....not sure why your not including those.

How many coats are you putting on. In my experience, especially with urethane, you spray on a medium wet coat, allow it to tack, and then spray on a top coat. If you are putting on more paint than that, you are either just wasting paint or getting slightly better depth to your finish. If you are shooting over old paint jobs, and adding primer on top, you need to be careful about putting too much paint on, period. In this case I would just put the two coats on. If you are using a siphon feed gun, keep in mind that more of your paint is going away in overspray just from the air pressure. Anyway, 2 full resevoirs should be plenty. the trunk can consume alot of paint if you are getting up under the backlight and up the inner quarters, behind the back seat area, etc.
