How much paint
Hey, this weekend im going to be getting the paint for my truck. Im gonna be painting the inside of the cab shortly and then later the entire body. It will be "signal green" by dupont which is like a lime green color. My question is how much primer and paint should i buy to cover the inside, and outside? Thank you .... Oh its a 79 F-150 regular cab

If you go with base/clear, 1 gallon should be enough to do the complete truck, most all bases are 1 to 1 ratio on the mix, so you basicly end up with 2 gallons.
1 gallon clear should go the distance also.
A gallon of single stage ,you should have just enough, may come up a little short to do the inside of the bed.
As far as primer goes, I would also go with a gallon.
