Comment on I repainted the hood of my truck using rattle cans
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 1 day agoWay more than it needed to - but if I were to do it from scratch knowing what I know now, I’d say: 3 cans of primer, 5 cans of base coat, and 3 cans of clear coat. That’s 1 coat of primer, 3 coats of paint, and 2 coats of clear coat.

I repainted a small drafting table lamp and it took an entire can. (3 cans: 1 primer, 1 paint 1 clear coat) I was shocked.
Then I had to do it again because I didn’t do it right the first time. (Too far away gave a dusty finish.)
