Hey all I just got my sample pint of Glasurits L73 and L53 Single Stage urethane. It looks GREAT!
Has anyone used this on a complete in and out of a deluxe.
I am looking for the correct amount to order
Thanks in advance

I used it on my 356, the paint layed out super nice. Covered easily in one coat (I put on 3). Very nice paint. The only hard part was cleaning the gun afterwards, yikes!! The colour just keeps coming and coming!
Not cheap but my 356 is tiny and the price was very reasonable.

Very nice!
How much paint did it take to do the 356....a quart....quart and a half? |

Just for the outside, the actual paint I used was less than 2 quarts, I still have some left over. That's 3 coats, but the car is tiny. Not counting any harder and I reduced it 10%
It covers sooo well. Plus that's without buffing, so it should really power out nice. |

| It took a gallon of each color to paint my '56, and I'm out. I wish I had bought more. |

Agreed! Buses are gigantic, lots of surface area. It also depends on the number of window openings, they seem to take up alot of paint for very little effect.
My 21 Window took 1.5 Gallons of paint (unmixed!). I spent alot of time trying to get paint into the windows. That's single colour, I ran out of steam to do the 2 tone!
I just posted my 356 pics for the colour effect, I love Glasurit! But I don't think I could ever afford it for a bus complete. |

| I figure I should be good with a gallon and half of bottom colour then 3 quarts of top colour |

Greg did you paint your bus the bottom colour over the whole bus then apply the top colour? |

I bet you are correct here, maybe a little left over for touch ups. |

| Glasurit line 22 is great paint, and even though it seems expensive, you paid less per gal. than I did 4-5 years ago. :) |
