How much paint?

[jedwards]

Hi, I plan to repaint my 53 Series 1 by hand, and wondered if someone could tell me how much paint I need to order?
I see that AGCOShop.com.au (http://www.agcoshop.com.au) has the correct Ascot Bronze Green for Landies,
but I'd like to get enough without ordering too much.

Can any one help?

thanks

Hi Jeff.
What an oddball product for a tractor company to stock,well spotted.
For those looking here is the paint page.
Search Results (http://www.agcoshop.com.au/SearchResults.aspx?Keyword=paint&Page=0&Sort=0&SearchContext=KeywordExactSearch&InitialSearchQuery=Keyword%3Dpaint&F1=M|14815|1|Land+Rover|34&F2=&F3=&F4=&F5=&F6=&F7=&F8=&F9=&F10=&Refined=1#divResultsGrid)

Volume needed for hand painting???? I would get 4 litres,if they can do a 4 litre tin.2 wont be enough,3 probably good.
Ive done a bit of brush painting look it up,you can get a good finish.The trick is to heat your paint before use,the perfect way is to use an old electric frypan filled with water,you can keep the paint at a good temperature,I was using 65 to 75 degC with enamel paint.Use a fine expensive brush for best results.

Yep, 3 to 4 litres should do the trick. SWMBO works for Agco and had no idea they sold paint, although once I showed her the link, she said yes, Sparex paints are part of the company or something.

I'm going to get her to find me some info on price and availability. :)

Wrinklearthur found the paint at Sparex some time ago.

He's not on the forum at the moment, I'll have to contact him and see how he got on with it.
