I once used 10 cans of primer on my Toyota Liteace van to get a resonable coverage. I would think that would be plenty on a Mini. The top coat would depend on the colour I think. It is possible to get a really good finish with spray cans but get a good brand because some of the cheep ones don't cut back very well even after weeks. When I was living in the UK a mate of mine hand brushed his Ford Anglia in navy blue and then cut it back and polished it - It looked really good and you could not have guessed it was done by brush. I don't remember what sort of paint he used though. Gig |

I did most of a Moke with 4 big ones (inside and out) but it was a bit thin. Tim |

If I was going to do it that way I'd negotiate a bulk deal |

That yellow on the brick looked pretty damn good for a fair while. |

My advice, use engine enamal, its petrol proof, so you wont end up with a big streek arround the tank, and its thicher, and gives a nice shine. (just my $0.0182au, and my oppinion grows by the day!) |
