I'm guessing I gal for the outside & 1 for the inside. The problem I see, is that the doors & hatch are off, and I'm thinking of painting them separate. I worry, though, that differences in humidity, temperature, etc. will show. So, I guess I will just paint the door jambs first, then install doors & hatch, then shoot the whole thing. I also have to install fiberglass bumpers & trim. And install electric door locks & windows, where manual were. I hope I can safely do this after painting? thanks, John C. SLC, UT... re-think your quantities. Base-coat clear-coat does not take that much color. Maybe 3/4- 1 gal. You thin with activator witch, depending on the paint, may double the volume. Same with the sealer and clears.
