Re: (boostedhatch92)
I just recently had my hatch painted.
It depends on a lot of things.
1- type of gun-needle you are using , especially the gun.
Good gun lays paint out real well and doesnt waste it.
2- How think you want it.
3-what primer are you going with.
Just curious what color are you painting your car, i just painted mine a copy of milano red in OMNI paint because Milano red is a tri stage paint it was far too exspensive for me just for a good looking street car.
I got my car painted for 500 bucks worth of prep paint and materials. 250 dollar primer sealer and hardener, and the rest on paintetc, gallon of paint gallon of clear. I have a cf hood and trunk and ended up using 3/4 of the gallon and alot of the clear and did 4 coat base 4 coat clear.
