Thread: First TL build need paint advice please

    From what I have researched, I intended to use primer, then base coat followed by clear coat.
    Hopefully this is the correct process, of course with appropriate sanding between costs of colour and clear

    Yep that’s correct. If you have prepared well it will only need a very light rub back between coats. Then lots of clears so you can cut it back flat and polish it up.

    Yeah I was thinking upwards of $50. Last time I got paint mixed for spraying a car it was around $90 for a litre.
    I got 2K acrylic lacquer put into spray cans about 10 years ago, and they were $55 each. I used about 1-1/2 cans.

    I've paid between $28 to $39 for 250ml of mixed 1K ac lac. (not to mention about a grand for a compressor and spray guns )
    The clear is pretty cheap though.
