How much paint will it take to do my truck>

90's style King cab dually.

Under hood, in door jams, behind fenders, everything.

Base Clear

Thinking about either New Vette Blue (Z06)
Or the Viper Blue.


Body mods:
tailgate handle
93 deville tails
Caddy clip w/GMC chrome bumper
roll pan
40x40 rag

your gunna need AT least one gallon of blue probably more... depends also on what brand of paint your gunna use because some paints suck and dont cover worth a shit.... as far as clear goes one gallon would be enough to put two decend coats on it ,,, more of a factory look versus a slick finish so if you wanna wet sand and buff it out nice gunna need more clear....

SHOOT TO DO MINE I USED A GALLON OF BLACK AND ABOUT 1/2 OF GREEN MAYBE A LIL MORE.
AND 2 GALLONS OF CLEAR.

^^^^ wow a gallon of blk ? Did they use blk sealer first? Should have taken only half gallon of blk. That's one gallon sprayable base.

So about 1-1.5 gallons of paint and 2 gallons of clear.


He hand made the tail light fillers. from a old hood. I will post up some pics when I get them off my phone.

Yes that would be plenty of materials

HE USED A DARK GRAY SEALER SO THAT WAY IT WOULDNT BE AS MUCH COLOR. BUT I GUESS IT IS STILL QUITE A BIT THEN HUH?

It will also depend on the reduction ratio of the paint to how much sprayable paint you will have. Different brands have different ratios. You also didnt mention if your were doing the inside of the bed.

most of your bases are mixing ratio of 1 to 1 but some brands of paint suck ass once you reduce them and they dont cover worth a shit...

Most good paint is 2:1 thus the reason for good coverage. A 1:1 explains why there is no coverage the paint is too thin. Remember you get what you pay for. I've used just about every brand there is and at my shop now we use spies hecker. One of the best I've ever used. Coverage is great, 1 1/2 to to coats for coverage.
