Has anyone put their RT through this - how much does it take per coat? What is the paint process/'system' for the OEM paint application? Thanks in advance!

With the experience I have (painting cars other than the Viper) I would reccomend a gallon and a half. You will have paint left over but you will be able to mix the gallon and the half together as you go and not have to worry about color batches. This will give you plenty for jambs etc. Also go heavy on the clear for a good wetsand and buff.

Really depending on the color, prep work, how much body work, etc. Vipers are relitivly easy to paint not much in the way of jams or undersides of much. Any questions just pm me, been in the bodyshop biz for awhile now, manager now but painter before.

You'll use alittle less than a gallon of clear.
64 oz of color depending on the color and the base that the color is going over.
