Len and gang are finally ready to cart the 914 up to my place for it's bath of intense blue pearlcoat and I have no idea how much paint I'll need..
I have always sprayed Bugs and Buses and even did a 911 once but have never shot a 914 race car before... Of course the car has no "roof" and I'll need to shoot the entire car inside and out. We plan on spraying the fender wells and under side with chassis black so I won't need paint for them. We will be shooting color inside the cockpit, and inside the front and rear trunks as well as the engine bay. The was media blasted so every inch of it needs paint but I have no idea how much color I should have mixed??? Anybody have a clue?? I figure it'll take a full gallon but thats just an estimate! Any help appreciated... Wait till you see this bad boy- Len has done one hell of a job on the suspension, and cage. Hell he even made his own steering wheel and seat! |
