How much paint

[Steve P]

I plan on painting 5 or 6 boats this spring and I am trying to decide how much paint I need. One is a classic thunder boat the rest are sport40 size or smaller. I am thinking about using Klass Kote. All will have a white base coat and several other colors added on top then cleared.

So how much do i need?

hvlp or old style gun?

i bot pints of my colors/clear was a quart...have enough for 3 boats with hvlp, tho i'm running out of clear (i try to sink my decals under the clear)

been a long while since i used old guns..not sure about those anymore

This is what my cart would look like at Klasskote, plus you would want to add pints of your others colors and maybe a third quart of the gloss catalyst for these other colors. Have fun and wear your respirator.
