How Much Paint Do I Need

[cj58]

I'm going to paint a 1969 Mustang exterior, door jams, trunk, and interior. How many gallons of base coat and clear do I need.

I got two gallons of both base and clear. Color will make a difference since the number of coats is dependent on the colors hiding ability. That said, I had 3/4 gallon of base left over and just over 1/2 gallon of clear.

I'd error on the high side on the base coat. It's going to be a mixed color and you certainly would want it to match as perfectly as possible.
