    Painting question

    How much paint should I need to paint my MK4? I understand it will be a ball park figure. I expecting 3 coats. Also how much paint for the stripes.
    Thank you. I'm bad about posting photos on my build. I'll try to get some up soon. For those on Facebook, I'll do a live feed when I paint. Lol. Should be fun. I am hoping to paint within the next month.

    1 gallon of main color (makes 2 gallons when reduced), 1 quart of stripe color (2 quarts when reduced) 1 gallon of clear plus activator which will make 1.5 or 2 gallons sprayable depending on the product used.

    I am going to have someone else lay on the paint, but this is really helpful information anyway! Thanks.
