Less than a gallon for bumper and hood. Are you painting this yourself? What type of spray gun are you going to use? Do you want a single stage which is a one step with the clear or a two stage one paint one clear coat? I recommend the latter.

google/check your phone book for auto paint suppliers. i'm gonna be painting my next car so i've looked in my area. found a great place, and the shop owner/workers know their stuff.

i'm sure you can find a local shop to get all the paint and help you need.

No offense, but if you don't know were to get the paint do you think you should be painting it yourself. Either way there are lots of paint supply stores, I use oriellys. If you use a dark colored sealer, or don't have to cover the whole panel you shouldn't need more than a pint of paint

Ok man,

Really it depends on what paint your spraying as to how much you will need.

1)Certian paint covers better than others i.e. Chromabase (DUPONT paint) is a 1 to 1 reduction with reducer and covers much better than Nason (DUPONTS economy line which is sold at O'Reillys) and Nason paint is a 2 to 1


2)What brand of gun you are using.

3)Air pressure you are using through the line

It goes on and on and on man


Look like I have said to a couple of people on the board Paint and body work isnt really one of thoes things you can just hop in and do. It takes a long time and a lot of patience
