How much paint do I need?
« on: November 02, 2018, 06:02:25 PM »
So I’ve got an 87 fzr1000 I’d like to repaint, just not sure how much I need. Anyone know how much paint is needed per square inch? Or maybe even just a ballpark guess for how much paint is needed to cover an old litre bike?

Thanks

Just sidecovers and a tank? A pint?
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.

I bought a pint when I had my K3 tank and side covers painted.  It was $120!
