Default About how much paint do I need

I got two body and front cowls removed from 2003's TXT. They are both white and I think that's the color I want to go back with.
I am thinking ivory white ?

I was also thinking a quart of base coat plus clear coat is what I could do this with ? even though I have never used this type paint. I always just used enamel way back in the 70's and 80's. I got a mid range spray gun.

Or maybe just buy acrylic enamel and spray them. I want them to look like new.

I don't want to use rattle cans . It has been a long time since I last painted but at one time I did paint a lot of carts. I will have to wait until a day with low wind and temps at least in the 60's so I can spray them outside in the back of my shop.

I have them both cleaned and sanded ready to paint.

I have a painter who said he could do both for $200 and use base coat and clear. I have to supply paint and primer. Maybe I should let him do them. He said he could guarantee his work.
Not sure if he could do it with a quart but he said today he could.

For $200 have the painter do it for sure. You are going to need 2 quarts of paint and 2 quarts of clear for two carts. Even though whites are normally some of the cheaper ones (the pearls sure are expensive, though) you are still easily looking at well over $100 just for materials. Probably close to $150. Your painter really won't be making much. You may as well let them do it and save yourself the hassle.

I picked up one sample white that they had painted on a piece of metal this morning and I really don't like it.
Its just one the man had that he used to show people when they don't have a paint code. I don't have a code and like you said the pearls for say a Toyota is expensive.

I can't find any paint code for ezgo. I have one for the hunter green but I want some sort of white.

Look at car paint. If you like a manufactures white paint, get the code for it. That is what I did when I painted mine.

Thanks, I am just going with what my 2019 Toyota TRD Sport truck is. Super white. Base coat and clear coat. Should look good. If not I can always paint it again
