How much paint?

« on: September 23, 2010, 09:55:32 AM »
I am going to paint my bug trailer and the under-windshield area on my bus.  The trailer is only 1/2 of a bug (the rear) and I am planning on spraying the under-windshield area only (not the whole nose).  My question is: can I get by on 1 Qt?  I know the reducer will stretch it, but how much paint does a bug require?

i think you could do it with one quart,  i know you need more to do multiple coats on a whole beetle

I bought two quarts today just in case.  I am pretty excited...  But MAN!  Prep-work ain't easy or quick!!!  Seems like I have been working on this thing forever!!!
