Tough question to answer.. depends on spray equipment... If you have a solid base like Polar grey about 8 ounces thinned 50/50 (16 oz total) should cover pretty good with a small touch up spray gun..

Probably a couple(2) quarts for 3-5 airplane kits, just to be on the safe side. Like Bob said about thinning and depending on your paint spraying rig.. Good luck!

Yes I am  going to  paint  a Polar grey  base  and  do the job with  a small touch up  HVLP  spray gun.

Thanks.
