I seen it on hotrod tv or something where they told you how much paint you need to paint each body panel.

I'd like to know because I have a little less than a half pint of color, plenty of clear, and I need to paint an SS spoiler.

Two coats. I'm very surprised how far the paint goes.

Any idea how much you need to paint a spoiler?

I don't have a calculator but I can tell you that even though that might be just enough, depending on mfgr mix ratio & color, I would much rather have a little too much that a little too little. I'd go get another pint to be on the safe side just my .02.

Unless the calculator is calibrated to you then it'll be wrong.

I'm no painting expert, but if it were me painting a spoiler, I'd need about 150 mL (5 oz) of base for each side. I'm sure a pro could shoot with a lot less than that, but that's what I'd need with my gun and my spraying habits.

5 oz isn't bad, I have more than that. That PPG is expensive, I bought 8 oz (16 sprayable) for $25. I put three coats on a CME valence and three on the fiberglass piece in front of the radiator core support. After all that I have more than 8 oz sprayable.
I guess I can always spray it, if I run out I have 8 hours to recoat or if I can't get it that day sand and recoat.
Now that I think of that I don't think I should have asked, the paint store is right down the road.
