How much VHT?
« on: March 01, 2011, 04:43:55 AM »
Does any one know, or can guess at, how many cans of VHT are required to paint the engine cases (excluding side covers), cylinders and head?

I would think one would do it. Thick paint chips easier!

If you DO need more than one can, check the bottom of the cans on the shelf for a production code number and get all cans with the same numbers to assure that you're getting paint that will match from one can to another.
