good question, i hope you're not going to paint it w/ housepaint, but i'd say around 4 gallons for a good look.

Depends on color and what sort of paint. Your paint supplier is the one to ask as they will know exactly what and how much to sell you. Also hardener, etc. With base coat -clearcoat could be as little as a quart of color followed by a gallor of clear. If regular enamel a gallon will paint most anything out there short of a pickup truck where you will run out trying to do the inside of the bed. Sears Weatherbeater takes 5 gallons and three coats. :-)

I would go with chevy69 1 gallon. he has the most experince and I would agree a gallon is a lot of paint. I would also go to an auto supply that handles autumotive paint and ask them.

Well when i was painting my cadi the other day I used 4 gallons of interior paint it looked spectacular
Seriously though if you ask questions that could potentially recieve smart answers you just have to accept it.

2 gallons should do it,if you are going to keep the same color,because keeping the same color,it wont take as much.
