If you use a HVLP spray gun it will reduce your overspray and will conserve your paint loss. Most of the paint I have used has required reducer. If you're going to use paint with hardener don't pour any paint with hardener back into your leftover paint container. I would think one gallon would be enough, but ask your paint supplier for his opinion. You need to use a supplied air system when spraying any of this paint with hardener. Serious health problems can
be prevented using a supplied air system. There's
a man and son in Ohio that paints tractors and I will send them an email to see how much paint is required. Here's a pic of one of the tractors they painted. The tractor's owner daughter had this repainted for her dad for this past Christmas. I would like to have seen the expression on his face when he saw his tractor. Hal

When i was painting full sized cars, a gallon of paint was mixed up, or bought ready-mixed. Then after it was applied, and the un-reduced paint that was left over, we had some to give to the customer for any later repairs. This was before paint with hardener, and was the left-over paint. So, if you are painting a full sized tractor, with enamel type paint-buying a gallon or more would be expected. The amount of paint applied would be more than any left over, and, if ya don't buy enough at first, you run the risk of running out, before the job is done. And that would require that you buy more than the first purchase, in order to be able to finish the job the right way! It all depends on how much you have to spend. buying the right amount the first time is far better than not buying enough, and have to buy more, having lots left over, and money wasted.
