It's a long time since I sprayed my mini but if I remember right I used just over 1 litre, It all depends on the colour. How many coats you want to put on,and of course how thick you put each coat on.
Welcome to the miniaddicts forum ! Hope you enjoy

I normaly buy 2 liters of 2k and use just over 1L and a 1/2,but i do put plenty on ,and on a plus you always have a little left over if you need to touch up or do any repairs later on.

I did mean to put 2 litres on my post so as to have some touch up in reserve!

On the subject of paint… could any one tell of a good place to purchase some, local to Wrexham. Cheers.
