Re: Amount of Paint
it also depends on what spraying set up you have. You'll definitely need the 2.5 gallons of paint if you use conventional gravity fed or siphon guns. If you use a good HVLP gun or spray it through an HVLP turbine, you transfer up t 80% of the material to your surface. Conventional guns that spray at 30-50 psi only transfer 50% of the material, the rest is airborne.
You also have to take your primer into consideration. If you have your primer tinted to a color close to your base color, then you'll use less base coat.
The clear coat, it's always better to have more than less because that's a pretty time sensitive process. YOu want to hit your flash times bang on so buy a little extra. I would say 3 gallons of clear and hardener should do it.
