I'm starting a new strat hardtail build and this will be my first finish doing it with my new spray gun set up.

My question is, how many mils of paint should I expect to use for a just the body? (per coat, acrylic lacquer thinned 1:1)
Hopefully this isn't "how long is a piece of string?" kind of question.

I'll be using a HVLP gravity gun with a 600ml cup. I'm sure there are unkowns that will affect output/volume, but I don't want to mix up 400ml if 200 should do it IYKWIM.

FWIW, for the base coat (metallic) I'm planning 2 coats, then a third further reduced 50%. 4-5 coats clear thereafter.

Anyone able to provide some rough guidelines?

Thanks in advance!
