I used 1 gallon of high-build primer, 2 quarts of base coat, and 3 quarts of clear.... I also used a white sealer primer( I painted the car white). I had to buy a gallon of the sealer, they didn't sell it in quarts...

On my 66 FB I used agallon of primer,approx 3 qts base coat(Bought a gallon)and 1 gallon of Clearcoat(Had some left).I found it was cheaper to buy by the gallon and you will have a little left over for touch ups or screw ups!!You of course will need the hardener,strainers,tack rags,etc.Good luck and shoot us some pics when its done!![:@]

The paint store I dealt with locally sells gallons/quarts/pints. Not sure why you can only get quarts... Maybe a Duplicolor issue? I used RM Diamont paint.
