Ben R said:For the whole car you'll be looking at at least 2ltrs of topcoat & 2ltrs of lacquer. I don't know where all this £20-£30 business comes from( sorry chaps) but I can tell you you're looking at (for decent paints) £120-140 for the lacquer per litre & probably between £70 & £90 for the topcoat per litre! The prices I've given are for ICI autocolour & Glasurit 55 line.
Ben R said:Somehow I doubt that mate as they don't sell it in litre tins! I've only ever seen them sell spray cans which would be even more expensive!
