Question: How many gallons of paint is needed to cover an RV10? Just trying to get an estimate for our RV14A.
Thanks guys.

It is dependent on a number of variables so it is hard to give you an absolute #. It depends on primer color, finish color being sprayed over the primer, etc., which will all influence how much paint you have to put on to get full coverage.
As a general # figure on between 2.5 and 3 sprayable gallons (includes catalist and other required additives, but not reducer).

For just the base color I would buy 2 gallons of paint, 2 gallons of hardener, and 1 gallon of reducer. The mix is 1:1 plus 10-15% reducer for the paint that I buy. Not all of it would be used so I could save some for a future job.
