Default How much paint is needed to paint the front and rear splash guards?

My splash guards are very beat up both from a previous owner and myself (don't really know how it happened) but anyway I want to buy new ones and paint them. I'm just wondering how much paint, primer, and clearcoat will be needed to do this? Thanks

4-6oz of the color, and everything else in quarts. Because that's the smallest amount they sell for clear/sealer. Might be cheaper just to pay a shop to spray them.

You'll have to take your code in to the paint store and have them look it up. Depending on the formula how much they can mix before the color is compromised by the toner/pearl amount. Sometimes you can get as little as an ounce or two. Sometimes 8oz or more.

If you need to ask how much paint you need, I doubt you have much experience. Go with a single stage, it'll be easier for your first time.
