Re: how much paint?

It all depends on gun type and paint. 1 quart of ppg single stage with reducer and activator would be plenty out of a good gun. If using a cheaper gravity fed gun with a stock cup you end up wasting some paint due to angle of application on the roof. I use pps (positive pressure system) with a good gun so I can spray at any angle. I would get two qts to be safe and reducers and activators. What brand of paint were you lookin at? I only have a Qt of house of kolor candy red to do the inside of my 65 so will c.
