How much paint do I need?

[calereeves]

I'm FINALLY getting ready to spray a candy blue metallic and arctic white on my 19' Tahiti.  It'll work out to about half blue, half white.  How much of each should I get?  I've sprayed a few cars before, but never a boat, and it's been a while...having trouble estimating how much paint to get!

Thanks!!!

You doing single stage or base / clear???
Base clear urethane, whatever you buy doubles when you reduce it 1:1
Hard to gauge how much you need without seeing it but I'd bet a quart of each if reducing b/c. Maybe a shade more for the bottom of hull color. I'd get a gallon of clear.
Single stage I'd double the mix, so 2 quarts of each color and more for bottom color... That is a ballpark cause not sure what boat looks like...

I forgot to mention that you might want to get a sealer coat that is close in color to your color. I would do a lighter color so your white takes less coats to cover..
