Painting Engine Bay - how much paint?

[badwella]

I have to repaint my engine bay again. I found a couple rust bubbles and I was displeased with the initial paint job (rattle can color match).

My brother is lending me his HVLP system which he uses for painting motorcycles.

I am only painting the engine bay and a new radiator support (replacing a cheap Korean knockoff with an OEM one). Lachssillber Metallic so it's two stage.

How much paint do I need? How much clearcoat?

Thank you

Depends on the mixing ratio but you should be good with a quart of paint if you are putting color on the whole bay. That will likely give you 1.5 quarts sprayable material. Quart of clear should be sufficient also. Mixed that will likely be 1.25-1.5 of sprayable material.

Awesome. I appreciate the help!
