Hi all,

 

How much 2K full gloss paint do I need to paint the roof of my mini ? in white, lots of coats so that I can flat it back and polish it up.

 

Thanks

 

Pete.

You don't want to be painting lots of coats,3 should be more than enough.Too much paint at one time can cause solvent pop or micro blistering.
If it's going over a fully primered roof or it's already white then 1/2 litre plus the activator should be enough.....presuming you buy a decent brand not something off ebay ?
Don't paint white over red !

Thanks Vanman,

 

Roof back to bare metal, 2k epoxy, light grey 2k filler primer then the 2k full gloss white.

 

I'm using ROBERLO paint.
