Hi All, I've pretty much got the bus ready to paint. got the front corner replaced, the side panel replaced, to get rid of that seam rust. And I've used about a gallon & a half of primer so far. I'm doing the total bus, inside & out. How much paint am I going to have to buy to paint? I'm doing a metallic 2003 Mitsubishi Ultra Red Pearl color. Three coats of color, Three coats of clear. With a second coat of epoxy primer underneath. I've been quoted anywhere from $400 to $700 @ gallon, for the color. This seems ridiculous to me! Anyway, It looks to me like about two gallons each? Any experience from you painters out there on this? thanks, John C. SLC, UT...
