For 2 part type paint:
If you are using a HVLP gun 1 gal will be perfect, if you are using a
convertional gun buy 1 1/2 gals. The extra paint doesn't hurt for touch ups,
runs & sags and sanding out dirt (if you are not in a standard booth with
filtered air).
Good luck, take your time, allow time for 3-4 light sprays at 10-15 minute
intervals, not 1 "good" coat!
If you run into problems JUST ASK!!
