How much water based paint it takes to paint the outside of a 306? The cars a 3 door and a phase one that will not be colour coded. Im also doing along where the door closes but not the inside of the car. Also skirts and a spoiler Thanks for any help

Just out of interest as I don't know the answer, why are you using water based paint?? its a scary amount of money compared to basecoat or 2k and you need a different spray gun.....

[Bananalad]

I have the spray gun, a heated garage and a good compressor I like using water based and ive estimated i can get the paint for less than 150 so im happy enough using it

[Bananalad]

If you bring your car to me ill do everything including the price of the paint for 150 pound

[mark_airey]

Seriously.............you think you can paint a full car for £150? :o

Fair enough mate, if your happy and equipped then carry on

I was just wondering thats all! I will stick to spraying BC and 2K

Ha if he brings the car to me

But on a serious note, the car is sitting in high build primer now which has been wet sanded. So far ive spent 90 euro on primer and ive alot left over for future projects, had the wet and dry sand paper here from stuff ive done before, masking tape i already had and got news papers for free.. Isopon was a tenner I need to buy some blue paint which will be less than 150, i have a can of lacquer and hardener here so just buy one more and im done..

Ill have the whole lot done for less than 250 not including my time but who counts that anyway

i used 3 cans of 750ml chalkboard paint if that helps? lol although i may have rollered it on, thats was 2 good coats

[Bananalad]

Ha think when painting with the water based it will be slightly different

[4WayDiablo]

Just a little :-P

[Bananalad]

Anyone at all? I want to buy some paint tomorrow

I painted mine with direct gloss. Used a litre of White primer and just under two litres of colour, picked it all up including thinners and activator for under £80.

[Bananalad]

Did you paint all of the estate?

[cwspellowe]

Nah was when I painted the gti6 yellow

[Bananalad]

Ah right i 'white gloss' instead of primer I was thinking about two liters!
