Wow 7.5l. Of lacquer. Suppose if you drokk it up you can flat the drokk out of it without the worry of cutting through but seems a waste to me I would have thought half of that. Maybe paint has changed since my days in the booth. It is about twenty years I suppose

You can only get it in 1l, 5l or 7.5l quants.

7.5l is only about £6 more than 5l. and 4x1l tins costs even more.

Just out of interest, what paints are you guys using? I'm moving house soon and will respray some bits when I do, and was planning on using 2 pack paint as my mate did my Golf bonnet with it and it came out nice enough. Only problem is I've read that 2 pack paint will end me if I spray it at home, and I don't fancy spending over £100 on an oxygen fed mask just for a few panels.

2k with an oxygen fed mask and sealed suit.

Upol do a 1k clear coat that is iso free, though not sure if it is any safer.

I think Ratty uses a clear coat that does not contain iso's, but you'll never get some of it.

What do the iso's do to you?

Kill or seriously harm.

So cellulose is the way to go at home?

Yep. I've arranged the use of a booth for this due to my neighbours.

ISO cue the lacquer at room temp. Non ISO need longer back off. For smart repairs I use a non ISO lacquer but its excellent unlike some.
For my respray in a booth I'm using max Meyer 0300 and a slow hardener. That's an iso clear.

Paint I use I ppg aquabase +.

Don't usr celly paint. It's so old now campared to paints like ppg ans sikkins and DuPont chrome max.
