My tahoe is in desperate need of a new paint job. With that said I cant see spending a couple thousand on a paint job for a offroad truck. The hood and roof need to be painted for sure just to keep it from rusting. How much paint do yall think I need for just the hood and roof? Shit is 100 dollors a quart:sparta:

base reduces 1:1. So if you buy 1 quart it will be 2 reduced.

1 quart would be more than enough base to do that.

every primer mixes different. some 4:1, 2:1 etc.

same thing with clear. some 2:1:1, 2:1, 4:1 etc

find your clear that you want and see how it reduces then i can tell you how much you need to buy
