    :0/ Damian getting one in end to practice on old car parts. He can weld as he use to work for Toyota and had to weld then he just need to practice as he little rusty. We got more parts today for pingu. Just seems never ending. I guess that's minis for you haha

Question - how much paint will I need to paint a mini (inside and out), dove grey if that makes a difference! No work or labour added on, just paint amount roughly (and cost?) :)

    I've painted 2 mini's in cellulose and took 5L each with having about 1/2L left for touch ups. That was full car, inside, engine bay etc.
