Getting close to paint time for my 68.  Everything needs painted, inside doors, under hood, trunk, etc.  How much paint will it take to paint this beast?

It depends. What color and what brand paint. Your looking probably at least a gallon and a half. unless your spraying Dupont which sprays like water, then you need more. and if your using a metallic you'll want a little extra to make sure you dont get any striping in the paint. thats a gallon and a half of just paint, which is about 2.5-3 gallons sprayable. give or take.

sherwin williams paints spray very thin also, especially their cheaper lines

I used PPG. It took a gallon and a quart of paint and the same for the clear. I had a little left over.

Also depends on what kind of gum you use. HVLP will use less than a gravity fed gun.
