I am beginning to do a restore of a 67 Mustang convertible. Does anyone have a best guess at how much epoxy primer I will need? I am guessing 2 coats minimum.

Thanks,
Rick

I buy it by the gallon. It mixes 1:1 so you get two gallons ready to spray. Generally buying quarts only makes sense on very small jobs. By the time you purchase 3 quarts you pretty much have spent enough to buy a gallon.
Doing a full on restoration you will be spraying 2 coats inside and outside but also using it for axles, suspension, K-member, coil springs, etc.
If you keep your cans sealed when not in use epoxy and the hardener will last a long, long time.
