How much paint?
wondering how much paint a typical a-body car takes? complete paint with jambs etc. I`m guessing 3 coats of paint ? almost black with 3 or 4 coats of clear..

I dont know what type paint you will use. I painted my B body 66 Sfire with Lacquer. Chose this for ease of use and originality. Bought 2 gallons of paint which makes 4 after thinning. Did not do door jambs and underside of trunk lid. Put 5 coats on and sanded in between each. I JUST had enough paint for the 5 coats.

I used Nason (duPont) paint to do a '67 Chevelle recently. This stuff reduces 2 to 1. I would not buy any less than 1 1/2 gallons of paint (that will give you 9 quarts of paint). That likely will be too much but you do not want to run out and you will need some for any touch up. I used about 1 gallon of clear-duPont- (mixes 4 to 1).
