Same seller has 2k kits advertised....normally 1ltr of base coat is about Ł30, then you need base coat thinners, hardener, and the lacquer kit to boot. A lacquer kit is about Ł50 for a 5ltr, bit more for the anti scratch kit.

Id suggest you get the kits if you intend doing any more work to the car; always comes in handy. Plus its not that much cheaper to buy small quantities and you run the risk of not having enough.

Remember you may need a primer kit too....but im sure you have thought of this unless you have new primed panels. PS Remember some wet and dry paper to rub the bits down

Well the cars diamond white so a solid colour so wont be painted base with laquer. it will just be painted with a solid colour, When i used to be in the game i liked to use standox paints. Always good quality. I used to spary at 2-1 + 10% thinners and always found that to be ok when spraying at about 2Bar of pressure. Just make sure you get the correct shade of diamond white as there are loads, Something like 13 shades i think. I think the shade for a 3 door is B2 from memory as im sure thats what mine is
