About how much paint should I order to paint my 70 truck? Inside and out.
I am not too concerned about in the bed as I plan to have it rhino lined.

Cool that is what I though, but I did not want to order too much or not enough.
I was thinking of going with some thing like this. Blue pearl I don't know squat about painting big trucks, just models

Oh by the way knsmodels, I like your work on the models

I used 3 gallons of base torch red Dupont Chroma Base on red primer and 2 gallons of clear. Inside and out of everything fenders, hood, cowel, box inside cab.(wood floor)

Mongo....thanks for the comments on the models.....now that I think of it 2.5-3 gallons may not be a bad Idea.....I did not spray the firewall on my truck but I did spray the inside of the steel bed....better to much than not enough....you always want to leave room for error.....Paul K
