Re: trying to paint civic
What type of paint are you using? Normally one gallon will do. You figure you'll end up reducing it to maybe just less than 2 gallons but it's better to have more paint than not enough and run out during your spray job.

lol, 2 gallons?
You would probably be able to get away with 2 QUARTS! I bought a gallon and had plenty left. Remember, you're not just spraying straight paint, its gonna thinned down quite a bit before it goes in the gun.
