Painting Q's
So, I recently was accepted for carsponsors.com and I noticed that they sell 4 oz of paint for cars. I was wondering how much paint I would need for a festiva. I also just need a few tips on what to get (PRIMER, THINNER, BASE, ECT.) Looking forward to painting that new hood and even maybe a spoiler from WES. Thanks Guys! Want my festiva to be HOT :blob6:

I know i could get away with a 1/2 gallon on a festiva with doing the jambs and the engine compartment.---------------------------------------------------

^ i agree.i think half a gallon is more than enough. i would go with that so that you have some left over to do "touch ups" if needed.Tim SComment

I consider myself a professional painter. Though not much of my work is floating around here. Tulsacarman paints, and his work looks nice too.
And when I'm meaning a half gallon...that is unreduced or activated...---------------------------------------------------
