yorkshire_spam Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 If you are using cellulose and diluting it 1:1 with thinners I would GUESS 5 litres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think I used 2.5 litres of cellulose but the only bits I did inside was bonnet and bootlid. Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standardthread Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The most I have used is 2.5 litres to do a complete Herald estate (and a Herald saloon before that), and that is going from white to red on the estate and that left some for touch ups. A lot depends on your equipment and ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Forgot to mention.. I will be using 2K paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 5 litres will do the entire car including the underside and hardtop. Plus it will leave you a bit for future touchups. Have fun. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martins Stag Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If it was me I would have a bit more than i needed and keep it on the shelf incase you need to blow in a bit more, then you always have the right shade? I assume 2 K paint will not go off? You can never have too much but having not enough when you have in the middle of it is never good....
