daveyboy 897 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'd probably go with half a litre mate Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 That should be more than enough. By the time you mix your thinners you'll end up with 1 litre of paint Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Half a litre will be more than enough I painted the full side of mine with less. Plus doesn't harm to have spare paint kicking about. Edited May 5, 2015 by Reaperx daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I bought 2.5 litres for my car so really that makes 5 litres once mixed and layed some nice coats down on the whole car Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperx 181 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Can't remember how much I bought now think it was 1 and a half. Then I thought I might not have enough and got another half litre wich I don't need but will come in handy when I change the bumpers over. Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly17 51 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Cheers for that guys hopefully going to start spraying next week Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Remember you'll need laquer and activator too and that's a different mix to the paint. It's 2 parts laquer 1 part activator and 10% thinners Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly17 51 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yeh found this place on the net "jewal paints" that does a 2k laquer that hasn't got the isocyanate in. So I can spray it at home. Smallest they do is 2.5lts £22. So plenty to go at there daveyboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

daveyboy 897 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah I usually pay about £15 for half a litre of basecoat and about the same for clear and activator (1.5 litres worth) Edited May 6, 2015 by daveyboy Gilly17 1 Link to post Share on other sites
