How much paint should I buy to paint my 53 3600 long bed? I will be painting the exterior only including inside the bed and the firewall, but not inside the cab.
I am using an epoxy sealer and single stage urethane (solid color...no metalics)
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

It was definitely more than I needed, but what if I needed paint
for a mishap later...Its also important that You box all Your paint together in one container...That way if You ever need paint
later You won't have problems with a mismatch...
I also used clear, but clear has no strength when sprayed
alone, so I added a quart of color to the clear which gives it the strength it needs to cross-link...
I know You are talking a single stage urethane, so I would
recommend purchasing 2 gallons knowing it will be more than needed, but You can bank the rest for down the road.. Bill B | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,028 | Thanks Bill
I think that is wise advice.
