I will be buying my base and clear this week. I am looking for advice on how much to buy. Here is information that I think would be important to know for those offering their opinions.
I am an inexperienced painter.
I am painting my 68 Corvette.
I am doing the jams too.
The color is Lemans Blue, which is a medium blue metallic color.
I will be using PPG paint.
I am painting over SPI gray.
I am following "The perfect paint job" with maximum clear coats.
I am using a Iwata LPH400 gun, 1.4, orange cap.
I want maximum dept to the clear so will not be shy to put coats on.
I will polish out the car and am also inexperienced in this task.
While money is always a concern, I will not be worried about a unused quart. Worse case scenario would be not having enough. That would be a nightmare I believe.
2 questions:
How much paint should I buy?
How much clear should I buy from Barry?
I greatly appreciate any and all insight.
