Title: how much paint is needed
Post by: rover51 on May 08, 2010, 15:00:12

I am looking at repainting my 110 (if as and when we get the weather to do it)

Just wondered if anyone has an indication as to how many litres of paint it would need to do it ?

Spraying it? perhaps 4 or 5 litres?

I am wondering about the people who only write in textese,  do they find it difficult to read normal English?

I'm thinking of nato green and matt black
But also like the idea of going grey with white roof

Thanks for the tip of using small roller :)

did a series 2 swb, rub down with orbital sander, good quality gloss rollers and brushes, 2.5l did two coats, and some spare, so suggest 5l of nato green will do whole truck.
