You could very well use a gallon of epoxy primer. Depending on how straight your body work is, you will use more than that in high build filler primer. As far as paint, it may also take at least a gallon. I have my body only to shoot in the morning on my 55 Delivery, so I'll know more on that by tomorrow. Everything else I painted (except doors, which I may do tomorrow also). I bought two gallons of paint, not wanting to run short and 2 quarts are about the same price as a gallon. I knew I would need more than a gallon.
