I am getting ready to buy some HOK paint for my lude and was wondering if anyone out there paints,and if so how much base coat,and how much clear do I need for a 4th gen prelude? in qts please.

I was planning on my friend painting it,and was going to go with 2 coats of base and 2 or 3 coats of clear,if that helps.Thanks alot

If nobody knows my friend will be back in about a week,and I can ask him,but I would like to get some ordered,or at least know what Im looking at.

 

Depends how good of a painter he is You can loose a lot of paint through improper technique and overspray...I would think a quart per coat would be safe.

 

He is pretty solid,he has been painting for 15 years,alot of custom airbrush stuff,cars,boats,all kinds of stuff so that shouldnt be a problem.So 2 quarts base and Ill just get a gallon of the clear coat.Thanks

 

Yup thats exactly what it took to paint mine, 2 quarts of base, 1 gallon of clear. Thats was just enough, their wasn't any base left over. So you could get a little extra to be on the safe side, but I think it also depends on what color your painting too.

 

Remember, You mix the base with reducer. Mine required to be mixed 1:1 so...2 quarts of base makes 4 quarts mixed.

 

I know HOK is 2.1 base to reducer,and the clear is 2.1.1 with 2 clear,1 reducer,1 hardener.
I am going to get a lil extra, maybe a little 4oz....Black pearl basecoat (pbc-43)is what Im painting it,but its a while out,I have body work up 1st,but its + or -100 degrees in my town into late oct so,I should be good.
