    How much paint?

    I want to paint my 90' single cab step side. The top I want to be black where the body line is and the bottom kandy green. Can anyone verify how much paint is needed, what site you recommend to order the paint, and all the stuff I need, like primer, reducer, stuff like that.

    Right on fam.

    prolly about a half gallon of each color, primer, reducer, hardener, and clear. Ive usually just searched online my hot rod black is usually over a 100 bucks a quart and i found it on amazon for 55 bucks.

    D-bags pretty much right on, only I'd get a couple gallons of primer just so you have room for block sanding, since your painting it black you'll want to block it out a couple times, at least. Get ya some guide coat too.

    Took 1.5 gallons of color on my 92 ECSB due to the victory red color being translucent.

    Are you doing a base clear? Or single stage? Gallons are way too much. You tint your sealer to the right tint and any color should cover in 2-3 coats of base. Let me know more specifics. I can also mix it up at cost here at the shop using high quality PPG products
