How much paint will I need?

As the title says: I've got 2 wings and from the bump strips down on both sides to paint!!

I'd probably go with half a litre mate

[Gilly17 51]

Cheers mate

That should be more than enough. By the time you mix your thinners you'll end up with 1 litre of paint

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.

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

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.

Cheers for that guys hopefully going to start spraying next week

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

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

That is a good price for 2.5ltr pretty sure I paid more than that for 1ltr.

Yeah I usually pay about £15 for half a litre of basecoat and about the same for clear and activator (1.5 litres worth)
