How much epoxy primer?

[rrod]

Will be using SPI epoxy primer.  Mixed at a 1 to 1 ratio. How much primer will it take to spray the entire shell of a 70 Challenger?  The interior, underside, hood and trunk is included.

For a primer, I would recommend at least a 12pack of Samuel Adams original. I would guess at least 4 gallons.

A gallon didn't quite make it for me, had to buy a second.  This was entire chassis, and all panels, both sides, two coats

Two gallons should do it. a couple of medium coats is all you need.

I ended up using two gallons as well.

Bringing up an old topic was this 4 gallons total or 2 gallons total mixed 1 to 1. (2 gallons of paint and 2 activator os 1 gallon of paint and 1 gallon activator)

[E-Body Products]

It was 4 gallons after mixing.

that was quick thanks, one of the paint guys said 2 gallons total should do it but I wasn't sure and don't want to run out

It depends on who's product you use and the reduction ratio, but my car has consumed just over 1 gallon of primer @ 4:1. The Valspar product I've been using lately is much superior to the Pro Form I had initially and is also 4:1 as high build or 4:1:1 as a sealer. It has a very short pot life of about 20-30 minutes as high build and 30-45 as a sealer. Clean your gun immediately regardless of who's product you use. Good luck.
