QUOTE(bbrock @ Oct 6 2018, 11:10 AM)  QUOTE(mepstein @ Oct 5 2018, 05:20 AM) It’s funny that on a 914, we paint the interior body color and then take great pains to cover all the color with carpet, pads, vinyl and tape. I do it for her. She deserves to feel pretty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif) QUOTE(mepstein @ Oct 6 2018, 05:36 AM) Pros usually use 3 quarts. diy guys usually use 1 gallon to allow for mistakes. Whole car or just exterior? Exterior but there are a lot of variables. Give yourself some extra for practice. |

QUOTE(bbrock @ Oct 6 2018, 04:02 PM) QUOTE(defianty @ Oct 6 2018, 04:45 AM) So... had a chat with my painter this morning and he reckons he'll buy three litres of base coat for the exterior. Thinned down to paint, that will give him six litres. Hope that helps Brent. Thanks Stephen. 3 litres of base would make about 1.5 gallons of sprayable mix in the stuff I'm using. Did he happen to mention how much single-stage for the interiors he will shoot? That's the number most important to me right now. Spraying exterior will have to wait until the winter snows thaw and warm weather returns. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) He said he'd probably get a gallon of single stage, now to add to confusion I'm guessing that's a UK (imperial) gallon and not a US gallon.
