how much paint should i need to spray the cc dually? its been awhile since ive sprayed and im curious how much i need. i might buy it and have this guy paint it or i might just stop being lazy and spreay it myself. also im thinking about blk with some pearl in the clear. what colors would look good on top of a blk basecoat

I can't remember how much I bought for mine

but if your spraying black it covers better then a lot of other colors and if you use a single stage or a two stage paint will make a differance on the amount you want to buy

u doing door jams and under hood???? you will probably use at the least a gallon and half!! silver pearl over blk looks really nice. some brands of paint cover better than others and also the reduce ratio will be different which can affect the amount you will need.. also you will probably need 2 gal. of clear as well

i'd get a gallon and a half, with most bases, that will give you 3 gallons sprayable,, but if you going black, one might do it, but you'll be cutting it close.. I don't ever worry about that as i just mix my own, but you won't want to run out in the middle of a paint job, that's for sure.

all the black that ive seen with a pearl over it always seems to look dusty to me like a fresh paint job with just a little dust on top of it
