I have a 1990 Civic sedan

I plan to get one gallon of primer, and 5 quarts of single stage paint (one gallon + one quart activators).

Is this going to be enough to cover the entire car? I don't need to do door jams unless I have paint leftover.

How many coats should I do of each?

After the final coat, how long do I have to wait before I can drive the car?

Is this the right spot on the forums to post this question? Thanks! 🙏

 

Hey,

There's a paint and body section where they can provide better feedback :

From my experience, that is plenty to paint your cars exterior and engine bay.

Check the paint you have , usually single stage takes 2-3 coats.

Usually , you'll want to do some sanding/polishing/cutting if its your first time painting a car to remove any possible drips or orange peel. Depends on activator ( and temperature ) you can start that the next day .
