I was trying to figure out how many grams make up a pint in auto paint?

I'm trying to buy paint for my car and it sells it by the grams and I need to know how many grams make up a pint. Because you can buy the paint by the pint, quart, or gallon.I was trying to figure out how many grams make up a pint in auto paint?
There are no Grams in a liquid measure,,there are Drams or Fluidrams,,,,the paint you are buying will be measured in Pints, quarts or Gallons,,,,or,,,Litres, Decalitres,,Millilitres etc.


Anything with a Gram weight will be a measurement of dry weight.


such as how much metal flake is in the paint.I was trying to figure out how many grams make up a pint in auto paint?
Sorry, but this cannot be calculated. Grams are a unit of weight, and a pint is a unit of volume. Different colors (and brands) of paint weigh different amounts.





Red, for example, is usually heavier then white. Therefore a pint of red paint will usually weigh more that a pint of white.





Whoever is selling you automotive paint should have a good idea of how much you need anyway.
Old rule of thumb A pint is a pound. You do the math and you'll be close.
