How much basecoat and clear coat would it take to spray the body, jambs, dash under the trunk, dash, engine bay, roof frame of a Ghia vert? And if you've done it which brand of paint gave you this coverage? I'd be painting a metallic probably on a colored sealer with 4 coats of clear.

Thanks,

You might want to post this in the Body/Paint forum.

Likely between 2 quarts and a gallon of unreduced base and at least a gallon, maybe 2 of mixed clear. Coverage of base depends on color.
