In this quick video and blog post I'll talk about a common question that a lot of newbie auto painters ask themselves. How much paint do I need to paint my car? How much paint to paint a car?
The video above explains it all.
But for the readers, I'll break it down. You want to ask yourself two questions.
1. What size is your vehicle?
2. What type of paint do you plan on using? Will you use enamel, or will you be using base coat clear coat?
For example: Let's say we're painting a small Mazda Miata with single stage enamel paint. And because the car is small we'll only need about 2-2.5 quarts of mixed paint to cover the vehicle two times.
When painting an averaged sized car, a one gallon kit (of enamel paint) is usually just enough for a medium sized sedan car or light truck. Most times you'll have a little extra.
This is why when painting your car, I do not recommend mixing the whole kit at once. I would mix 3/4 of the kit, then start spraying. Most times that will be enough. If you need more, just mix half of the left over, or all of it.
Basecoat Clearcoat Paint- How Much Paint To Paint a Car?
When painting with a two stake paint you not only need the color (base coat) you'll also need the clear coat, hence base coat, clear coat.

I am going to join VIP shortly. just one question what spray guns do you use i hear so many stories painters saying buy the cheap spray guns, then you go to paint shop and they say a cheap spray gun gives you a cheap spray job, i have no problems buying an expensive spray gun but will the paint go on any better

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

I use ATOM X. The X27 or X88 is a great gun. If you were a good painter you could manipulate any gun and even do an OK job with a cheap crappy gun. But the cheap guns don’t last and the atomization is not the best. But you don’t have to spend seven or nine hundred dollars to get a great job done. You can use a good medium grade gun that delivers high end results like the Atom X guns that I use. In fact I feel they spray just as good as the 1000$ SATA 5000 as I also have one of those. Plus with ATOM X they give you a free GunBudd Lighting System! zoolaa.com is where I get all of my products! I hope this helps you!

[@Farmer2492]

@@HowToPaintYourCar Hi fantastic will the Atom X be good for Acrylic

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

@@Farmer2492 Watch this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/emObqpunZqaYfZY just sprayed this a few days ago. Single-stage acrylic! Spraying with the Atom X88. But like I said, the X20 or X27 are also very good spray guns. The X20 is like for the DIYer. The X27 and X88 is a higher-end spray gun.

[@LuisC202]

Is the Atim gun rebuildable? Do rhey sell rebuild kits?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Agreed. I talk about this on the blog. This was a quick overview without getting in-depth too much.

[@jameschavez470]

Your content is always thorough and answers a lot of ?s I find myself stuck on lol. Keep up the grind!

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Glad to hear it!

[@BacktothewaterBaits]

When doing a color change you should also factor in a colored sealer tinted close to the color that you decide to change to , this will aid in a uniform layer that is close to the color your changing too, leading to fewer coats of color to hide the underlying color. Primered spots take 2 to 3 more coats of color to hide because of transparency where one coat of sealer gives you an even background to spray on!

[@timemerson4162]

My brother always did a shot of clear in his final coats. and they all looked great.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

awesome!

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

All urethane and polyurethane is a 2k clear. Any 2k will do. I use PPG and DuPont. Learn more at: learnautobodyandpaint(.com) we cover all of this stuff and even give away a free 85 page auto body manual!

[@soccerking8201]

This was great, thanks, I have been researching "painting my car at home" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Banayce Wordless Blueprint - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to master car body work and spraying techniques minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.

Hi , What about a 1995 Buick Century wagon , no color change. The car clear coat will be sanded and buffed to get rid of orange peel . I want to use Acrylic Urethane.

[@dalejmenefee2022]

[@sarkar04]

Hello Tony,watched almost all your videos and learnt quit a lot from u, I recently completed my SMART repair training course but never heard about Enamel paint system can we use this for smart repair too? Is this possible to make a separate video on Enamel paint system? Get more information many thanks

[@damoutsao]

Hi Tony, When you say 2 quarts, how many coats do you mean. Thanks a lot.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Not always but if you have dust in it or just want to have a PRO gloss, then yes. You'll achieve a much more quality glass-look job by cutting and buffing. We show you it all at learnautobodyandpaint(.com)

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Thanks buddy!

How much base would I need to paint a 1984 cadillac coupe deville and how much clear would I need if I paint it pearl white

[@dunnbizzy79]

Does this apply to the house of kolor system? If not can you do a video on paint mixing for a regular candy style base maybe adding an effects pac as Well. Thanks Tony!!

Hello, sorry for bothering, is it will be enough 1pin of QX1 Nissan Pearl to paint bumper and left fender on Rogue? Thank you for the answer.

[@happycanada2003]

3 quarts of premix? Or 3 quarts + reducer i think its not the same for premix paint

[@tomduncan1970]

Very informative.... as usual, thanks for your videos! TOM

Painting my Evo 8, have the front bumper, hood, fenders & would like to paint and blend the doors and back quarters. Painting it the same color, want to restore it to the factory color. Where can I buy paint in general to match so I don't have to buy online and I can go back for more if need be?

[@BacktothewaterBaits]

you also failed to mention the color and the possible transparency of color and paint line quality, it matters it really does !

Where's a good place to buy some paint to start learning?

hello I am looking to paint a 1996 Toyota Tacoma truck and how much paint do I need please help me out thank you so much I was looking to buy some duplicolor jet black paint shop quart to do it

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Learn more here: www.learnautobodyandpaint.com I would say 3 quarts of base...

[@MikeyLovett9]

If I'm just painting the fender and touching up the quarter panel on a 2003 mustang, how much will I need? I believe last time the shop only needed a pint of paint/clear for the fender, but I'm not sure exactly.

[@ericsalinas8144]

i sprayed my truck but it dont have that shine im looking for material was a urethane single stage black can i put clear over it

[@user-dn6qy1ou1f]

I'm sure you've long got rid of it. But don't put a clear over a single stage. There's a high probability of a chemical reaction resulting in a very bad finish

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

good video did you paint the plane

[@TravelingCharlie]

Hello Mr Tony, I was wondering, how long do I need to wait after using grease and wax remover before applying my base coat?

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

20 min or so...

hi i paint my small car but the paint looks dull .. what did i do wrong?

[@terryburton3455]

[@isaacc3307]

What are your estimates for doing a 72 ford ranchero GT are plan is to use a synergy green acrylic urethane paint since we can't buy pure urethane paint in california.

[@jacobwooten5137]

I should also mention its metallic paint

[@zanaga1901]

I am not doing my whole truck painting it but how many coats of paint should I apply. Is 4 or 5 coats good of paint. When me and my dad did it before we put more than 4 coats. I think it was at least 5 or 6 coats of paint we put.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

Keysta, I usually do 2 coats of color, 2 coats of clear but it's all up to you.

[@zanaga1901]

@@HowToPaintYourCar I just bought more primer because I used a different paint code PS2 on my truck which is different than mine PSB I see the different shades of grey on my truck so am repainting it again but with PSB a pint. Am painting the front of my truck but not the top or very back. And also the drivers side rear door because am getting another door at the junkyard. So 3 doors painting and the front. I don't know if that will be enough but I bought a pint of PSB paint on eBay for 40 but I still need to buy more clearcoat and I have one spray can of sandable primer that is light grey primer. I already have guide the powder stuff but I think one more of paint a pint will be enough to paint all those areas.

[@HowToPaintYourCar]

lol... what am I a dork? :P
