Default Paint matching front end conversion

I'm gonna be doing a 2000 front end conversion and assuming I probably won't be finding paint matched panels how much paint would I need to cover the front?

It depends on the color it is and what color you are going to be painting it, if you are going to be doing just the front, I would say about a quart, but I would get a little bit more to be on the safe side. That will give you about a 1/2 gallon after its reduced.

A automotive paint store will have different paint chips to choose from, look and compare the color in direct sunlight or the store should be able to profit the color. It's little machine that does the color matching for you.
