Generally speaking a gallon kit of paint is enough for the outside and jambs of a small to medium sized vehicle. The amount of paint you will need depends on a lot of factors including the size of the vehicle you are painting, how much of the vehicle you are painting, which color you use, your spray equipment, and the technique and skill of your painter. Metallic paint is harder to spray than solid colors (colors with no pearl or metallic sparkle) but not as challenging to spray as transparent candy or chameleon paints. Metallic paint has a more sleek look whereas metal flake has a heavier sparkle with more of a “speckled” look to it. Metallic paint is made with finely ground aluminum that ranges in size from roughly 10 microns to 50 microns whereas metal flake typically varies from 50 microns (micro flake) to 200 microns (standard flake) and can be over 600 microns (can we say Bass Boat!). The primary difference is the size of the sparkle. What is the difference between metallic paint and metal flake paint?
