How much paint for the inside of the cab
Looking for a little help on the amount of paint I need. I googled and search the forum for answers, but the majority of "how much paint do I need" was for painting the entire truck as well as painting the inside the same color as the outside. I want to paint the inside the original fawn color. I am not looking to get into painting trucks so I don't want to over buy if I can help it because this might be my only truck build. So, here is what I would like to do. I am having the inside, the firewall, and the underneath blasted. I would like to spray two coats of epoxy on all of those surfaces. Then, two coats of a primer/surfacer on the inside of the cab and maybe the firewall. Then two coats of the fawn on the inside of the cab and firewall.
I plan to do the Fawn and Cameo White in single stage paint. No clear. I plan to reach out to TCP Global for the Fawn and the Cameo White to do the dash trim and steering column. I think I have seen others with each of these mixed in quarts. Is a quart enough of the Fawn to for two coats on the inside and firewall? I am not sure I can find the epoxy and surfacer in quarts, but wanted to see how much people think I will need. Rob |

Re: How much paint for the inside of the cab
Years ago I painted the inside of a cab and I think I used a quart of paint and whatever I needed of the required reducer. Best as I can remember it was an acrylic enamel I used.
Paints vary, some cover well, others not so much...

Re: How much paint for the inside of the cab
Thanks. I might see what I can get in a quart as far as the primers. I know I can have the colors mixed in quarts. Thanks for the reply.

Re: How much paint for the inside of the cab
Thanks. I think that is what I am going to start with and see how it goes. I need to start gathering my paints or at least the primer because I am hoping to be ready to blast in the next week or so.
Thanks, Rob |
