10 litres LOL i must be awesome i used 2.5 litres on my last respray and gve never used more than 4 litres ever on a respray

I would have used 8-9 on my VL after painting inside out every panel, engine bay, boot and flow coating the whole car.

where was that quote from Quote: Originally Posted by jamiestraks [View Post] I looked into this a few months back, i was quoted $2500-$3000 for a 2pak job. That included rust cut out/repaired (front and rear windows), new front bumper (non genuine), whole car color coded and also the mirrors, windscreen black side panels and plastic bit between tail lights painted 2pak black. Also straighten out some front panel damage from a previous dodgy repair effort. I was going to go ahead, but decided i would like a holiday in europe instead . I decided to get a new bumper painted and fitted, and i also got the car detailed by a pro ($250), and it came back looking like brand new, got rid of a heap of chips and scratches which you cant even tell existed. I just give the car a full polish and wax with Meguiars every 3-4 months to keep the paint in good nick Hope that helps. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i get my figures from what ive done, not from the net. We've done many re sprays for many cars and the results speak for them selves, simple as that!

agree with ya Phase 5 if ya can put it down properly you dont need to flow coat it. its more for amatuers in my opinion put down right the first time. it does depend what colour your painting because some dont cover very well but thats why you put a base down first 10 litres of paint is ridiculous.

Amazingly enough flow coating is still used by some of the best painters.. bloody amateurs.

if anyones looking for a painter i recommend sunny from 121 smash repairs on cranwell street in braybrook/sunshine , painted my f250 that was an absolute pig of a body ( ex ambo ) and straight off the gun no orange peel, no **** ups, just a dead straight body and beautiful smooth black paint, i spent $5700 but that was cab and tub, inside and out, quite a fair price, and the paint is near on show quality, minimal bog was used, holes in the body were welded up and smoothed flat, dints that werent able to be knocked out were lead filled, i was honestly stoked with what i got for my money
