On my blue WDX I used 2 gallons of Endura & I thought that was a crazy amount of paint. It all just depends on how much you waste. There is no way that you could ever apply more than a gallon without the paint being so thick it would peel of in sheets, but I must admitt that painting everything in pieces & in different stages meant a ton of wasted paint for me. Not only that, but it depends on your spray equipment. I use the ol' 502 Devilbiss syphon gun, which wastes a ton of paint compared to the new gravity fed guns. Still, I think 4 gallons would be more than twice what a guy would need. That's an awfully expensive paint job if you use 4 gallons of color + the clear + reducer + hardners+++. That's over $1000 worth of paint!
