Rick,
I checked with John Lawton before I started painting and he said he used just 2 gal. He is a professional, paints airplanes as part of his business. I am into my second gal and am not quit half done, I have had to do some repainting. Difference between an experienced painter and a learning painter. I will be into the 3rd gal. That's not considering clear coat if you have that in mind.

These were the quantities David Steade used, mentioned in a post re spraying.
David Steade has been very useful, apparently the recommended paint is a 2K polyurethane Aerodur from Paxa in the UK (or Europa) C21/100UVR and primer 37045 (he used 8lts of top and 10 ltrs primer plus hardener S66/22R (13) and thinner C25/90S (15).
