Renovo Colour Reviver coverage

[jimed]

I am going to be using the colour reviver on a panel which is pretty well the size of the removable panel on the Griff/Chim. I suspect that I may need to do either 2 or 3 coats and wonder if a 500ml can would be enough for this. I have asked Renovo re coverage and they think the 500ml will do approx 2.5 sq mtrs - I would be doing maybe 2.8sq mtrs with 3 coats so wonder if they are understandably a little conservative or not and whether the 500ml would probably do the 3 coats - so any views/experience etc appreciated.

Thanks for the thoughts. I was intending to use some waterproofer on the finished item. Re using a sponge - what sort? Is it a car wash type of sponge or something else - I'm mindful that I wouldn't want to get any bits off the sponge ingrained in the panel particularly after it will have been cleaned, etc. beforehand.

That's good thinking Shep - think we have some.

Just an update - I have done 3 coats as the 500ml bottle was more than enough for that (still have some left as well). What I was actually doing was recolouring a cut roof that I had got hold of; the guy I bought it off had cut one for his Griff which he sold a while ago. He had re-covered the roof in blue to match his car and also covered the inside as well; quite a tidy job and it also has a locating pin fitted between the 2 halves. The roof has no seal between the 2 halves but as the mohair has been rolled over and fixed down the cut edge it does fit together nicely and apparently didn't leak even without a seal (not tried it yet but I can believe that as you can lock the roof with one panel in place and then tap the other panel tight against it which does make a very snug joint which with the waterproofing shouldn't leak). I will try it by running a little water on the seal and see what happens. I only want to do this when the panels have been fully proofed so question is should 1 coat of fabsil be enough or should I do another ... (can doesn't say anything about 2 coats so maybe I'd be wasting my time) so any thoughts here appreciated.
