Painting a Cozy

[unick3]

for Steve:

 

How much paint (top coat) is required for the cozy? Getting ready to buy PPG Concept and need to know how much you guys use.

for Marc:

 

IIRC, I used about 2.5 gallons on my plane. It could have been thicker.

for John:

 

I am sure that 1 gallon would do it IF there was no waste, paint it all in one session etc. Bottom line is get 2 gallons and the required hardener and reducer. Make sure you mix the 2 gal. together before you start. I did not, they assured me that their mixing equipment was so accurate that it was not necessary. Guess what, I think whoever did my mixing double shot the pigment on one can.

I used about 1.5 gal of product (paint). It mixes up to about 3+ gals of shootable paint material.

 

PPG is EXPENSIVE paint, but it shoots really nice. Make sure you get the right reducer for the temp you are spraying in...
