AKIRA Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hello Everybody! What is a good amount of paint to figure to have on hand for my dad and I to repaint my Brat? 2 Quarts? 3? -AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsmiths Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Depends on color, prep, type of paint. I don't really know enough about it to guesstimate. If you use quarts be sure to mix them all together first then seperate out as much as you need to fill the gun. That way you won't end up with the front and back or right and left sides being different shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 AKIRA, When I had my Brat painted a couple of years ago I went ahead and bought a gal. Two coats of coverage and maybe a quart was left over that could be used for touch ups and such. If you buy three quarts it will cost as much as a gal. in most product lines, more than a gal in others. Glenn Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I put a gallon and a half on my bug, followed with 2 quarts of clearcoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I used 2 quarts on my '88 GL wagon. This was mearly a light coating however. You could easily put a gallon on her if you want a real thick coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
