Paint consumption for cars - paint consumption table

On this page we have prepared information about the norms of paint consumption for painting cars. The presented table of car paint consumption will help you determine how much paint will be needed to paint a car, how much primer, car paint and car enamel are needed to restore its individual parts. We have provided the information so that it is possible to calculate the consumption of the car paint and how to work  if an aerosol car paint is used, and in case the painting is made with a can-car-paint.

ATTENTION: It is recommended to use paints and varnishes from the same manufacturer. When using coating materials from a single manufacturer's company, not only the best durability of the painting is ensured, but in addition to this their more economical consumption.

The information shown in the table demonstrates the norms of how canned autopainting and Thunder Paint autopainting autospray are used.

Paint consumption table for a car part

The paint consumption table for a car part is presented for canned car paint, automotive polish, primer, as well as paint consumption rates in a can.

The consumption rate of paint in the canister is indicated for all parts of the car body. Spray paint, autopolish and primer have the advantage that they can be used without having a special spray gun and avoiding difficulties with prior mixing with solvents. Spray paint in a can and autopolish in an aerosol are already fully prepared for application, they need only be shaken before starting to spray onto a car part.

Calculate the consumption of car paint

If we start from the average norm, then about 1/4 liter of paintwork material is usually spent on 1 square meter of the body. Therefore, for painting the whole car may need 3-3.5 liters of enamel. Autopolish  is usually required in the amount of 2/3 of the enamel, that is, 2-2.5 liters. But in order to more accurately calculate how much paint to paint a car you need to buy, you must take into account the type of paint and the form of its release. The enamel in the can is also diluted with special solvents before use and the car paint in the spray can be applied without any additives.

Paintwork material consumption depends on a number of factors (viscosity of paint, type of spray gun, temperature, layer thickness, etc.), the main of which is the degree of surface preparation of the part for painting. Thorough degreasing, grinding (if necessary), priming (if necessary) - provide not only the durability of painting, but also more economical use of car enamel.
