Paint quantity
« on: March 19, 2013, 08:20:40 PM »
I'm looking into getting my tank and side panels resprayed and have been to RS Paints web page.
They sell in 250mm increments but I have no idea how much paint a respray takes.
Can any one help?

It depends on how many coats you intend putting on there. I did mine with a couple of coats and 500ml with thinners was ample for this. I used more lacquer but put several coats on.
