Im going to get my trike painted. I am having the frame and 3 fenders painted the same color. Is a pint enough to paint everything. Does it matter if its a candy? :dunno:

I rather have a qt. I'ts allways better to have too much then not enough, but I do think you should take care of the whole bike with 1 pt, but that doesn't leave you much room for errors you know.

a pint is cutting it real close bro. like myfamiliacc said you should go with atleast a quart. And it does matter if its kandy, cuz you have to do around 6 coats as apposed to 2 or 3 with enamel.

i'd say at least 2 pints minimum. you'd be better off getting a quart to be safe.

i know a bike doesn't sound like much but thats the bad part.... you lose alot in the overspray.

for example, i used to paint sandrail frames for a buddy of mine that was building them. it took a little over a quart per coat since most of it was in the air and on the shop floor with it being all pipe.
