    How much paint required ?

    Hi All,

    I'm getting close to the point where I'll need to purchase paint, and I am planning on going for Deep Bronze Green.

    With my vehicle being a 109" soft top, I'd like to know how much paint I should purchase.

    From what I understand about the different paint types and their pros and cons, I think I'll go for acrylic. I assume I'd be looking 2-3 coats.

    Any suggestions about how much paint to buy would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    John

    Is it just the outside you're doing or everything inside, under the bonnet, etc? You can generally put 3 coats on the outside of a car with 4 litres no dramas, but if you're doing everything, I'd double that.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Hi Homestar,

    Thanks for the response. I guess outside and inside would be best, but i hadn't thought about the bonnet, guess I should so that too.

    So, sounds like 8L - 10L required.

    Cheers,
    John
