Guest Zero Obliquity Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Can I get by with a quart of paint or will I need more? Thanks Lonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I guess that depends on what you're painting... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawglet Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I haven't yet painted my VFR but the last bike I painted it took about 1.5 quarts and there wasn't any plastic to cover, that was just the front fender, tank, and 4 smaller side covers. I'm guessing on buying a few quarts or possibly a gallon as it's usually the same cost as 2 quarts as for a gallon here at least for the paint itself.

It really depends on the color and coverage desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tooslow Posted January 5, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2007 three pints is ample for the whole bike, don't forget sandable primer, fish eye remover, quart of clear coat, stabilizer, laquor thinner, masking tape, strainers, tack cloth, proper lighting, dust free environment, and a lot of patience.

1TallTXn Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I purchased 3 quarts when I re-painted mine. I had just under a quart left after it was all said and done. This included painting the lids on all three OEM hard cases good luck and don't forget to post pics when your done :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
