Painting a '7

How much paint can I expect to use to paint an Rx-7? I'm just looking for a rough estimate so that I can plan my budget accordingly

It varies with the brand/type of paint, but should be no more than 3 qts. before adding reducer/hardner, etc. I often buy a gallon, both for touchups, fubars and sometimes a gallon is cheaper than buying 3 qts.

Talk to your paint supplier, they will give the best advice.

Thanks a bunch!
