Does anyone know how much paint is needed to paint the chassis?

All wishbones, brackets, uprights: 0.4 liters primer, 0.8 liters paint. No dilutant if you're using a brush. 10% if you're spraying.
Chassis: About 1 liter primer, 2 liter paint.

This is epoxy 2 pack primer and polyurethane 2 pack paint
If you're spraying you will use less!

Thanks Oli, how many coats did you do?

did one layer primer and three layers paint on the wisbone/parts
will probably do three paint layers on the chassis!

after primer, wait a day for drying
after first layer paint, wait 2 hours, then next layer. If you wait a day you have so sand it down again before next layer. Will also spray wool fat/lanolin in the chassis holes front and back and seatbelt mounts
