F1 ford paint ?

I am getting ready to paint my F1 truck. Does anyone know how much paint is needed? I am wanting to use PPG Concept Single Stage.

Thanks, John

 

Hey John,

By "paint" do ya mean under the hood, door jams & behind the seat, inside the bed & behind the cab?

I'd start with 5 quarts of un reduced material.

It took me about 2 gallons of unreduced base coat on my '51. That includes the interior, box, etc.

 

used 2 gallons on the wifes '49

 

I think on the last one I did I used about 1 gal unreduced base/ 2 gals sprayable. No jambs and I used black sealer to save on paint.

 

Just finished a '49 - 2 gals.

 

Thanks for the replys.

Being this is the first complete vehicle I've painted, I think I need 2 gallons unreduced from what everyone is saying.

I forgot to add I am painting everything inside and out.

It never hurts to have a little left over for touch ups if needed. Especially if you don't trust the kid behind the counter to match the color correctly.

 

2 gallons for sure. that way you can put enough material on and have a little extra
