How much paint needed?

Post by crvc »

The owner of the auto parts store says he can make any color paint I want and it will be much better quality than Rustoleum. How many quarts/gallons of paint are needed to do one beetle, inside and outside?

TIA,

Probably about a gallon, which if it's mixed 1 to 1, like most basecoat/clearcoat, means you will need 2 quarts of paint. If your covering a like color (white over white), youwill need somewhat less. If changing colors (white over black), you will need more.
