How much paint?
 

Hey guys, I'm spraying a 17 Mako with Awlcraft.
Have a gallon of the 545 primer but wondering how much we need for the colors.
Waterline to rubrail will be gray.
Cockpit/ console/deck will be white, but the non skid areas will be kiwigrip.
This stuff mixes 2:1.
I'm wondering if anyone here who has done an 18 or even a 20 could give me some guidance.
Don't want to buy more than we need, but certainly don't want to run out either.

Thanks

Just did my 20sf with Awlgrip. One quart of color/white should get you there. Have you thought about roll & tip? Can't beat the amount of masking and coverage you'll do for spraying. Just my 2cents. Good luck.

Thanks for the response.

The masking won't be too bad, and you can't roll Awlcraft anyway.
I'm doing this with my son's friend (who's also my fishing buddy) - it's his first boat so he's making the call on a lot of it, and he would not believe that a roll & tip could be as nice as a spray job - but I've seen some pretty impressive results.

How many coats would one quart get you? Rcnight

One quart will probably get you 4 coats with roll & tip. Don't forget you thin it out until its like water - so it goes a long way. If you go that route, you'll need to get the brushing thinner & activator. Speaking as a shade tree painter, I'll never spray another hull again. Leave the spray to the inside. You can get good results spraying the nonskid with the Awlgrip additives. I recently sprayed my 21' sailboat with one quart and got 3 coats. Do a search and you'll get plenty of advice.
