Paint Help
I need to know how many gallons of paint I will need to paint my EG hatch. I already have 1 gallon of NHO Championship White Paint and I dont know if this will be enough. Thanks

Re: Paint Help (ImportRacr05)
are changing it to white from a different color? And how many coats are you planning on using?
If you do the engine bay, exterior, and interior i would say you would have about enough for 2-3 good coats..maybe...

but remember he would have to mix with reducer and activator each coat when he refills the gun thus giving him more to work with unless the gallon that he has bought is already premixed

Re: Paint Help (Rev-Olution)
Well I will prolly pick up another 1/2 gallon then. Im making the engine bay black to offset what will be powdercoated "almost chrome" under the hood. Currently the car is red and Im really loving the championship white. Thats what I wanted my old crx to be but that project wasnt going anywhere. BTW, anyone know of a good rear bumper for sale for my 1995 civic Si?
