I average 6-8 quarts on a Camaro, but have done up to 3 gallons on some builds especially when painting interiors.

Shopline will not cover like DBC will. You will need more paint to cover the same area. Also, how much of the engine compartment are you painting body color? Fender wells and radiator support will chew up plenty of product as well. Not an easy question to answer without many more details.

firewall and all under hooh will be hotrod black .i know the shopline wont cover like dbc thats why i asked. this is just a budget paint job to get this car through a couple of yrs so i can finish my pt 69 thanks for the replies

Depending on the color and transparancy you may need more than that.

Get tintable sealer and it will save you some money and time as well as less unnecessary material buildup on the car.

allready have the tintable sealer .i might go ahead and buy another gallon of the blue. i think i'm going to do a test panel first though to see how it covers thanks for your replys
