How many gallons of paint?
I'm going to repaint my Evo, does anyone have any hard numbers as to the number of Gallons this might take? The stuff I'm going to use is $1,200 a gallon so hard numbers are appreciated. And no, I'm not taking it to Earl Scheib for 19.95 so some guy with a mop can paint it.

$1200 a gallon... thats one spendy paint job I'm not an expert but I did have my integra painted and it was just over a gallon so I would expect the Evo is close to 2 gallons but I don't know for sure you could call a paint shop and ask...

Its fairly amazing, you should have seen the SEMA vehicle in real life. I think the Evo will really kick *** with that paint job. Mine is silver so I'm really only worried about the external and not looking to do a 100% inside/outside refinish.
