ummmm i think the smallest you might be able to get is a quart or some places will do a pint. it all depends on the paint manufactuer(ppg, spies and hikkens, standox, etc) some places that sell the paint itself will mix up what you need.

I got some PPG 8 oz color, reduced is 1/2 pint sprayable. The smallest amount of clear available was one quart though.

cool! anything smaller then a gallon. Im going to try my first automotive paint spray test, then see if i want to touch my car. I spray alot of epoxy primers and tub resurfacing top coats, but that stuff has way to many solids to get a smooth finish..
