Paint Amount?

Hey everyone, I am fairly to painting and would like some advice on how much paint I will be needing. I am gonna be repainting my stock rear bumper and side skirts on my 04 wrx. I was wondering how much paint I will need to get the job done. I know my paint color is the World Rally Blue 02C I believe. Is there anything else I need to know in order to do this perfectly?

Thanks,
Ken

What are you going to be painting with? Paint that needs to be mixed or paint from a can? If it's paint that needs to be mixed, half a pint would be enough but a full pint would be safe. Mixing it with a 1:1 ratio of the activator will give you doube. So if you get 1/2 a pint, you will have a full pint and 1 pint will give you 2 pints. Personally, I belive that 1/2 a pint would be enough. If this is your fist time painting with a spray gun and mixed paints, I would read up on how to prep the pieces, preparing the paint for use, the curring process, etc.

If it's paint froma can, I wouldnt do the rear bumper. Sideskirts will be fine.
