Default Paint Part 2

As in my last post I'm gonna paint my HD soon, do you think 1 quart will be enough to paint. Parts are as follows, 2 fenders, gas tank 2 side pieces, outer and inner fairings and bags, or should I order 2 quarts

Just painted my wife's Heritage Softail, and used just under a sprayable quart in black, and that was only two fenders and a gas tank. I' m a auto painter for a living, your gonna want two quarts.

Depends on the color your using. If it's not a sparyable quart you will end up with two quarts sparyable.

I'd say two. Some colors don't cover very good, And it couldn't hurt to have some around for touchups later on. Especially if it's going to be a color hard to match.
