I am thinking 1.5 gallons should definitely do the car, the more experienced painters will pitch in. By the way, 3 quarts is 3/4 of a gallon. Unless you meant to mix 1:1 with thinner
The rims were OEM on the 2005 thru 2009. Paint dealer said the PPG paint is a 1:1 mix. 3 Qts should do it. I have a sun roof which takes up half the roof. My wife wants me to paint the rims using black trim and keeping each spoke with the center the silver they come with. Have the center spinners with Mustangs. Larry
New project. Starting to repair and paint all the trim pieces. Starting with the center spoiler. I want to put a third brake light . Attached, find my two options. One is full length, the other is the center section only. I will be cutting the top section and placing the light bar in the spoiler and finishing to look as OEM as possible. I prefer the center only but just in case the world is saying something else, I though I would ask.
I’m gonna reserve judgement on this till you get it done, but in my mind i’m thinking it’s gonna look like a double sided taped on accessory from AZ.
The cheese factor that will add to the rear of the car won’t be worth the perceived safety it’ll add.
* Then you’ll have those holes to patch should you change your mind.
At least thats how I think it’ll be. Could be wrong.
A third brake light don’t care where it is on the back of the car. If I was doing it, it’d be inside the back glass as high mounted as possible so that it catches the driver behind you right in his line of sight. There’s probably some kit out there that adheres to the glass from the inside that will do that that doesn’t require drilling holes in a 79 rear spoiler.

If you're set on putting it in the spoiler, then go with the center one. But at car shows, it will stand out whereas one inside the car blends in better.
