hobbies and interests paintingHow much paint do you need for a car?
Subsequently, one may also ask, how much does a pint of paint cover on a car?
Coverage. One quart of paint will cover about 100to 125 square feet. On an average-sized car (forexample a Ford Taurus) the combined size of the hood and bothfenders will be about 60 to 70 square feet. This means thepaint will definitely cover both the hood and fenderat least once.
Similarly, you may ask, how many gallons of paint do I need?
One gallon can of paint will cover up to400 square feet, which is enough to cover a small room, like abathroom. Two gallon cans of paint cover up to 800square feet, which is enough to cover an average size room. This isthe most common amount needed, especially when considering secondcoat coverage.
It depends on the surface you're covering, but onaverage it will get you through for 18 to 20 square feet.
