I'm at the step of painting my car now. I'm starting with the engine bay and would like to buy enough paint just for that. How much paint would cover the bay? I was thinking a quart would work.

Quart should be plenty.

A pint would be way more than enough.

Thanks. How does the size of the DA engine bay compare to that of the EF civic/crx's?

Psychoteen101

Its bigger, but not considerably bigger.

Awesome. I'm going with a pint. How much primer/clear should I get with that?

usually with clear, i always get at least double the amount i used for basecoat... then again i spray heavy. u dont really need primer for an engine bay.. just scuff and spray...unless you're going a really different contrasting color and you need to seal it, or you've done some shaving

Going from red to a dark blue...shouldn't have a problem with the colors blending. so no primer needed then. Thanks man.

I would seal it, will help your color coat cover better.

cant-think-of-a-name

True dat, will definitely do it.

yeah, red to dark blue is pretty drastic... seal it.

I know you're not asking me, but for engine bays I use reduced epoxy.
