How much paint.

(1/3) > >>

Man Of Kent:
Evening all,
I am considering spray painting my 400/4 tank and side panels and wondering what quantity of Varnish Blue paint I would need.
I am thinking of getting the paint from RS Paints, are they okay or are there better suppliers around?

Cheers in advance
Dave

Nurse Julie:
RS Paints are great. How much do you need?.....I haven't a clue but someone who knows will be along soon I'm sure.

Menno:
It depends on how you paint but I guess 250 mil should be more than enough for a tank and 2 panels.

With that you can do easily 3 thick coats of paint.

Maybe you can get paint from RH in the UK or buy it at ebay:

This colour is a good match.
You will have to top it with 2k clearcoat.

Lobo:
Dave... I’m not here to ‘dis’ RS paints - but take care to (1) ensure the 2K clearcoat overlaps the base colour, (2) consider not painting the tank neck, (3) don’t brim fill your tank & (4) use the centre stand wherever possible. My tank professionally painted at significant cost - made me bloody weep.
Good luck, I’m sure Menno / Julie can chip in with better knowledges.
