I have one more question, How much paint does it take to cover an RV aircraft? 



The paint area of a RV-6A is as follows.

Take the area and use the manufacture's recommended coverage for primer (please forgive the use of that "word") and finish coats and volia, you have the amount required, Do not forget to add in the amount that does not actually end up on the plane.
