I attempted to go onto the truck portion two times and it said not found.
Can anyone assist me in how to figure out the correct amount of paint, to paint a two tone colour pattern on an IHC truck? We would like to
order the correct amount, not too much or too little.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

I would think at least 2 quarts of each color. Depending on how many coats you put on. You are at least to put 2 on. One lite one ant let it tack up then a heaven one. Mix both quarts up into each other to get the same color. Some times the color will be alittle different in each can.
 
Each quart will cover 100 square feet so a quart for each side of the truck . roof and deck lids more for a total of about four quarts with a returnable back up fifth quart.
 
Thank you fellows
the measurements for the two colours are as follows IHC truck gray is 127.5 sq., feet so that equals 1 and 1/2 qts.; the IHC bleu is 226.2
sq ., feet so that equals 2.5 qts. We are repainting our RV van body Winnebago with the gray on the bottom and the bleu on the top split at the split at the bottom of the van door window & the hood; On the roof of the unit. We think this should look classy and fresh. We should be starting to set up to paint around the end of April depending on weather since we live in south west Ontario Canada [right now at 1:10 P.M. the temperature is around
40 Deg. F.]
Thank you for all your assistance.

I believe the winnebago is a auminum. Be sure if it is to scuff up any bear spots good and check it over for a powder that auminum like to have on it as it gets old. If u don't remove this the paint is likely to flake off because it can't stick to it. Be sure to prime them spots.
