how many tins of spray todo a car.....

[Mr Sam]

keeping my options open and NOT going matt black Btw

 

but people who have satin/matt blacked a car with rattle cans, how many cans did it take???

 

i did my black fez in 2k a litre of base coat and a litre of top coat so took a litre to cover the car

 

im guessing 2 500ml cans arent going to cover a car

 

 

 

 

thinking of going some wacky halfrauds colour for this season

[bomber1]

think i used 8-10 cans on the mk2 escort i done tho they were 300ml i think? been a while since i done it just bear in mind if ur using lighter/brighter colours it will take more

[mk3tina]

it takes about 1 500ml can to spray an area the size of a door, so work it out from there. for a mk3 cortina it took me about 10 cans of matt black.however to get a good finish with gloss colours it takes more coats so you may end up looking at about 20 cans.

i dunno how many cans it would take but i bet you could rent a compressor and spray gun cheaper

[Mr Sam]

ive got access to compressors and got my own guns

 

looks like it will be just as cheap todo a quick blow over like that

jawel were doing a litre of celly an thinners for £18

[914Driver]

I painted a car with very thinned paint and a foam foller. 10/10 finish! 10 feet or 10mph it was perfect.

 

It's also cheaper than rattle cans.

i did my Disco in 5 tins of satin they were large trade size though 750ml mind you i masked the decals do 6 would have done it easy

[Skoty]

i used about 20 cans including primer to do my old fiesta. i done all inside the boot and door shuts and stuff aswell.

[vibrating_Cake]

25cans for the capper that was primer with a bit of rubbing and re-priming in places .

 

they were the tall but small ones (not the big ens, but not the tiny ens lol)

ebay

 

if you want a finish thatll last a fair few months i'd rattle it with a fair few layers, if not itll just not last =)

[baz105e]

seven 500ml halfords cans to do my fiesta, scotch it down and spray streight over the paint that was there before, no need for primer
