How much clear coat should it take!?

[Tripper]

A friend has an art car Caddy ambulance that's pretty kool (dig the fins). He's disabled & wants to clear coat it & is wondering how much he will need to do the dirty dead. He really has a sense of humor because he's on oxygen & his car is painted with cigs! They are trying to sell him a gallon but I don't think he'll need that much. Anyone have a clue how much it would take? I suggested he just rattle can clear on it!

I don't know, but the paint job is cool.

1 qt to a 1 1/2 qts should put 2 good coats on it. It all depends on the type of gun, how thick, how many coats, how good the sprayer is etc. cool paint job though.

most cars I do take a gal of clear and activate but I also color sand and buff the clear when dry

How many brushes will he need for a gallon???

For what its worth, My 40+ years as a painter says 1 gallon, hardner and reducer to give you 1 1/2 gallons sprayable. big problems if you run out of material right at the end....Just a profesional Opinion

I agree, who want's to go through all of the prep work, swetin' buckets on that Huge land barge then fall short at the end. alwayse look ahead and ask yourself do I want to do this the first time or twice....$$$$ everything twice.
Been there and don't want to go back!!!
