One quart of automotive paint typically covers an average car with 1 coat, depending on the type of paint and the surface being painted. Coverage can vary based on factors like the quality of the paint, the color, and transfer efficiency. Cheap paints are typically bindered, which means they have less pigment load so it takes more coats to fully cover the car. Lighter colors like yellow and white also require more coats to fully cover. The type of paint gun, pressure, and nozzle used will also affect the amount of paint needed to cover your vehicle. High efficiency guns use lower pressures and special nozzles that increase transfer efficiency, lowering overspray and decreasing waste.
