Les Brock Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Mo, Seem to remember I used 4 litres of cellulose when I did the 90 hard top many years ago.... As above - One light coat Two normal coats Top coat with a higher thinner content I had never sprayed before and thats what I was told to do................ What colour you going for ?

trendkill Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I sprayed a friends 90 a few weeks back for £600! 2k Etch Primer 2k Satin Black Paint Took me a few days in prep work. The spraying only took half a day. Looks pretty damm good now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thanks Mike and Les. Mines being done in a proper paint booth, I was curious about how much paint would be used. Les, I'm going for Pembroke Grey :-) Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGM316 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 i got a quote the other day for painting my 90. the guy said i was looking around 800 thats if i stripped the car down myself then rebuit it after painting (not really an option where i stay) or option 2 was 1200 and i could drive it in then come back and it would all be done for me. or option 3 if i wanted a show level paint job id be looking at 4000 quid. being the car is 26 years old option 3 is right outa the window. oh yeah and that wasnt even for metalic paint add another 200-300 quid on top. he was my first quote ive a feeling this is going to upset the missus maybe she wont notice The extra they charge for stripping down, does this include window removal or would that be the 4k option for show room finish? How much can panels be repaired before it's better to just replace them, some of the dents on mine are fairly big, worst maybe knocked in an inch. Luckily with this type of vehicle the odd dent doesn't matter, so I keep pushing off the idea of having it sprayed, but plan to do a more thorough job when I get to it.

Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 You can get very good results with HVLP ( high volume low pressure) guns that run from an elecrtic unit they are very reasonable and you can also do a sideline in spray tanning with the equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
