Ah fair play. I imagine the quantities are different when dealing with 2K and not cellulose. Cheers anyway sir!

Can't wait to see it orange again :).

Same :) It'll be another coat of primer tomorrow, then hopefully the first coat of ORANGEEEE Thursday :P .

1L of surfacer/primer is enough to cover the car probably once, if i was to do the doors and boot too.

That's not bad at all!

I think what I'll do is buy more than enough high build primer, see how much I use to cover the car and use that as a guage to how much paint to buy for the top coat :).

I shall check in on thursday!

If your looking for a paint colour have a look at the House of Kolor range, it's not just kandys and hot rod flame jobs and It's no more expensive than your average paint, but they have some good colours and the quality of the paint and UV protection is fantastic...
