i am looking at the rage extreme ice blue. they sell it for £24.58 per 90grams. i've searched the site and i need just a lil below 4 litres. so i'll get 4 to be on safe side. BUT how many 90grams do i need to respray my car? god this is all so confusing!

I assume by asking how much you need that you're not a pro, this is difficult paint to work with....?

-you cant use 2pack paint unless you have an airfeed mask- if you dont you can be killed-you should look that up
just a word of warning

2pack paint wont kill u unless u are exposed to it for a prolonged period of time. Spraying a car will take no more than 30 mins and thats if u keep stopping in between.
This sort of exposure is safe, but if u do this sort of thing everyday all day then this is when it becomes a serious health hazard and the need for an airfed mask is a must.

iv just resprayed my whole car myself, jus finished it. i used just over 2 1/2 litres of colour, and 2 litres of laquer.
the paint your talking about is quite hard to use, do u have proper kit?
and the two pack thing, it aint guna kill u in little bits, its the hardener that does the damage, buy the best mask you can afford, it helps alot. got abit of a tight chest n abit dizzy, but im sure it will pass!

you can get pretty good 'disposable' 2pak masks, they are about £12.50 from a decent paint shop. made by m3 these are really good masks, i used one while i painted my bodykit, they can be used about 20-30 times before they need replacing aswell. When i used mine, i couldnt smell the paint atall, it was only when i walked 20 foot away and removed my mask i could smell it really bad ! just goes to show how well these cheap disposable masks work
