Hello,
I have been repairing the body of my van and would like to paint it with Epoxy Primer 2 Coats, 2 or 3 Coats of High Build Primer 2K and 2 or 3 Coats Direct Gloss 2K.
I am un-sure how many coats of each to do and how many litres of each I would need.
I will do the inside and outside (the fibreglass high top is currently removed so do not include that, there is a tin roof with the hole in the centre cut out where you stand) and all the doors.
I already bought 4.5 litre of epoxy primer when I saw one cheap - is this enough to do 2 coats all over? - I believe so from research but see wildly different estimations!
For the high build how many litres shall I buy and how many coats should I do ready for flatting out?
For the direct gloss how many litres shall I buy and how many coats, I see different videos doing 2 coats or 3 coats! - Now for this though I will do 2 tone like most vans are so the top lighter colour will be less on the outside but I will probably use that on the inside but the floors and ceiling inside do not matter and nor does the outside roof so can use which ever colour is left etc?
I am thinking to get the paints from Jawel website? Anyone else have experience with this companies paints or recommend another website?
I have an airfed mask etc !
Any comments or recommendations please let me know! I also have JotunMastic87 to paint underneath on the chassis as many people recommend this!
