Bob no that would be colors that are not mix for spraying or non sprayable QTs . again it depends on the color your spraying , that paint line , if its base /clear or single stage , if its a HVLP , HVLP compliant , or just a old HPLV gun . there are so many factors that come into play . take the color black i can spray a hole car ( out side only )with about 2.0 QTs of color ( not reduced ) reduced 2 parts color to 1 reducer it comes out to be 3 QTs mixed color . take the same car and say your painting it orange you will need allot more color say about 4 QTs unmixed to start with . the main reason is its coverage ! colors like yellow and orange are very pour hidding colors . this is one reason i tell people to use a sealer 1st before you start laying down your top coats . if you sand throw an edge and you just try to spray over it it will take many coats of base color to cover the sand throw with a color like orange . also a sealer will help to stop it from sinking in after the paint job is finished .
