I have not painted this bike yet, but I did a yamaha xs750 tank, side covers, trim on seat pan, and the tail section. Below are some ideas of my usage. Hopefully it gives you some kind of reference.

Metallic Black Basecoat (3:1)- little less than 3/4 qt
1 light coat and 2 medium wet coats 1 dust coat

clear (4:1)- 1 qt
1 light coat 3 medium wet coats

Both were shot with an Eastwood HVLP gun.

Reply #3 - 06/25/12 at 12:00:34 Sorry, yes more specific - tank, both fenders and side covers. Base coat and a clear coat. We buy paint in litres here so a quart is .9 of a litre. Just wanted a rough idea, I was thinking a litre of each should be enough.
