Estimate how much automotive paint you may need for a full vehicle or individual panels. Choose the vehicle type, part to paint, paint system, spray equipment, climate and other project assumptions to get an estimated amount of primer, color coat, clear coat and material cost.
The calculator estimates paint from the selected surface area, coverage assumptions, number of coats, spray-gun transfer efficiency, climate and waste factor.
Estimate a full-car repaint, hood, doors, fenders, bumpers, roof, quarter panels or trunk/deck lid, with custom area options when you know the surface area.
The amount varies with vehicle size, paint system, number of coats, coverage, transfer efficiency and overspray. Use the calculator above for a project-specific estimate.
There is no single amount that fits every vehicle. A full repaint can require different quantities of primer, color coat and clear coat depending on the selected system and application conditions.
Yes. Different application equipment can have different transfer efficiencies, so the calculator uses the selected equipment as an application-loss assumption.
No. They are planning estimates. Always check the technical data sheet for the exact paint product for coverage, recommended coats, mixing ratio and ready-to-spray yield.
