I see it is all one color so with that being said how many gallons of paint did you use.

T.J., 3 gallons of red (which is 3 coats) over 1 gallon of white (one coat).  This covered the fusalage and wings.  However, I still need to do the flaperons (this weekend) and the engine cowls and wing tips so maybe another quart or two (gonna be close).  4 Gallons would get the whole plane for sure, maybe 3.5 depending on color.

 

We will also be adding a full length silver stripe with black outline (similar to the N numbers)

Just an update on the paint quantity.  3 gallons of color will get the whole thing (though just get it, depends on color and coverage).
