I lay the paint on pretty thick, I thick it adds about .2 to .25 ounces. I haven't measured each stage. Someone else will have to chime in here.

We used Auto Air paint for an airbrush, it is automotive quality paint, but is water based. I was nervous about my kids spraying something stronger. Thanks for asking!

This was raced in the stock/street pro class last year
