How much Duracoat do I need?

How much Dura Coat do I need to buy to do an AR15 upper/lower receiver and barrel? Will 2 ounces of white base coat and 2 ounces of my color do it, or do I need 4 ounces of each?

Two ounces is plenty - you could probably do 2-3 (or more) ARs with two ounces. I never used any base coat, but I guess it depends on what color(s) you're using.

I'm going to use queens green - they recommend a base coat for that color.

Well... that will certainly stand out! Not my cup of tea, but it will definitely be unique!

I'm using black furniture and highlights so it won't be too outlandish...

I will, but it will be a while. All I've got so far is the lower receiver.
