1 litre cheaper brank 2k about £35 per litre( 1 litre would easily do a bike)
filler/primer about £25 per litre
hardener about £10
thinners about £15 would last a few paint jobs
then sundries wet/dry paper ,masking tape, filler etc
then if you want a laquer on top of a basecoat add another £40ish
and also not forgetting lots of time preparing and cleaning up afterwards
spraying does a better job than rattle cans (my experience is that they are better than nothing but not great)but obviously you need a compressor, spray gun ,face mask(2k paint is very dodgy) somewhere dry and dust free to do it.
obviously if you are doing it all the time you would have bits and pieces left from other jobs
You're right in that spraying does better surface than any other method.
But it is way harder to do by yourself... You need all the equipment and place where to spray.
With plastidip that other stuff isnt needed and it can even be done outside !
So in my mind quality to price/easiness ratio is excellent
I've also been thinking taping... But if you dont do it yourself I think its expensive, any opinions ?
I think it is also harder to do by yourself than plastidip... Just my opinion.
