    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
      @HowToPaintYourCar  4 года назад +1

      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!

    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!
