if you are not doing under the bonet and inside the car i would say 3 to 4 litres of coular and 2 litres of primer but if you are then i would say ad a litre to that
the paint isnt the dear part you need roughly 1 third paint to 2 thirds thinners

hey wat paint would you suggest??? 2 pack? acrylic?

i havnt tryed 2 pak before
i know it lasts longer and you do not have to buff it as much to get the shine
but i would not be using it with out a decent mask because it is highly toxic
i am also not sure on the mix for 2 pack

you can get just as gooda shine from acrylic
put it will take a bit more work with the buff
and will need to be redone every 2 or 3 years my next project i will try 2 pac

aight man thanks heaps aye... ya helped me heaps (and no that isnt sarcastic )

cheers

no worrys that is what this site is for

Yes two pack pain is highly toxic, you would need a mask that has air from an outside source pumped into it.

If this is your first attempt I would think going acrylic is a better option, and it is also more forgiving if you make a mistake.

also a dust fee booth is fairly asential with 2 pack because you dont whant to finish a panel and have u bug coke and land in the middle of it

3 to 4 litres sounds like a fair bit to me. think i used 2 litres of acrylic for my ute. s'pose the sunny is a bit bigger tho. if still in doubt ask the guy at the paint shop

hehe ok thanks people
