    how much paint have you guys used when you painted your e30's? about how much were you paying per pint.

    Not sure for a e30 but I used a quart maybe two, cant remember on my e34 and I just bought a quart for my e30. Bronzit cost $70. Red would obviously cost more. I cant see using more than a quart on a e30. Its always good to have some of the same mix left over just in case.

        Are you sticking with the same color? After painting my e34 blue (originaly bronzit) I would suggest no drastic color change. It only makes the whole process more labor intensive. Door jams, engine bay, and trunk were a nightmare. I had about 100 hrs into the whole car.
