Title: Paint
Post by: Fair 73 on November 11, 2010, 08:06:51 PM

Hello
I am getting ready to paint my 73 Pinto (has a trunk not hatchback) and was wondering if anyone knows about how much paint I will need. I am just going with a 1 step paint no clear or anything like that.
Thanks

Two quarts should be plenty. If you're spraying an acrylic enamel, you'll want a minimum of three coats on it.
