Hi

I'm just finishing off my pan in the next few days and I'm going to paint it with White Knight rust guard epoxy enamel.

It comes in 500 ml, 1 litre, 4 litre size packs, would 4 litres be too much or 1 litre too little?

Hi

Thanks Craig, I will see what 2 x 1 litres will cost compared to 4 litre.

Yeah, 4 liters would be WAY more than you need Steve.

I'm doing my car trailer with it at the moment... so far everything has had 1 decent coat, and the mudguards and side rails have had two coats, with a bit over a quarter of the 4 liter can used... so I'd say 1.5 liters max to do a thorough job on a pan.

Hi

I just priced the paint, 1 litre is $30, 4 litres is $79. I'm going to to use satin black, it looks more natural than gloss or matt.

I think I will buy the 4 litre pack and then I can do my son David's pan as well.

Sounds like you might have enough to come around and do my pan as well 😁
