Default Anyone know how many quarts of paint to paint a hardtop?

Does anyone know if a 1 quart of primer, 1 quart basecoat, and 1 quart clearcoat is enough to paint an OEM hardtop?

I Don't quite think that will be enough... better be safe than sorry. I know that's enough to cover a bumper...but a hardtop?? may be streching it.

depends what brand are you using? and the mixture..will be close with the primer,most basecoats are mixed 1:1 with ruducer so you will have two sparyable quarts of base, clear will be cutting it close usually mixed 4:1 depends on how much you wanna stretch it

My S2k is Spa Yellow and the guy that is painting my hardtop said I would need 1 qt of each. Primer, basecoat, midcoat, and clearcoat. He told me I can have the left over paint in case I need to paint any small parts later on. I would think that means that 1 quart should be enough.
