    Hey guys looking into plastipping my truck either , matte black , beige , or od green , I'm wondering how many gallons would I need for a single cab and also I have pin stripping on the truck, can I just spray over it or do I have to remove them , also how much thinner do I need to mix in with each gallon , sry if it's a noob question , only paint I've used is spray paint
    Here's my truck

    4 gallons for a reg cab? Sounds like more than you need.

    And for fucks sake don't do black. Your truck is black already, and you will look like everybody's wheels if you dip black.

    The reason i said 4 gallons is if you go to the site under pro car kits 3 gallons is for a small car 4 gallons for a large car and 5 gallons for a truck. 3 gallons is still 156 on the site.
