3 pints in no where near enough. You need to find out how much paint you will have once the paint is mixed. Example, if you buy 2 quarts and the paint required you mix in reducer to spray it, then you will actually have more than 2 quarts of paint because it is reduced. I would recommend 3 quarts reduced. Meaning 3 quarts ofter the paint is mixed with the reducer.
