yeh your estimates are not far off i think i used about half a litre of 2k etch primer and about 1.5 litres of primer havnt shot top coat yet since its going to IVA in primer then if i have to drill holes i dont have to touch up after.

as for quantity a couple of litres should do it. a few coats 3 or 4 is ushaly good over a light colour primer should work a treat i like grey primer its good for prity much any top coat when it comes to top coat you are better to buy a little extra and have some left over then to not have enough simce evry can of paint is slightly diferant, kinda like getting replacement fibreglass parts evry batch off gelcoat is slightly diferant.

remember if you are using 2K (2Pack) that you might have for instance the etch primer i use is 50/50 + thinners so a litre of etch + a litre of hardner +10-15% thinners and you have nearly 2 and half litres the values i have given above are mixed values not how bigger tin you should buy

hope this helps

tilly

any problems give me a shout
