Hey Shane, where are those pictures ?
And did it only take a gallon for the whole kombi ?
And how many coats and cuts ?
What was your technique and did you flash it with "white spirit" ?
We are hungry for  the details.

I guess industrial tints would be similar to agricultural paint tints.
Have to talk to someone who knows formula from grey to Light or Bright orange. Smile

Firstly Cheers Brookie for hooking the photos up
Ok Pete , It only took  2ltrs all up for the grey with a 3 to 1 ratio
Flashed with white spirits
no sanding in between coats ( too lazy for that )
I found that you apply a coat with one roller then give it 10-15 mins
Depending on temp , This leaves little bubbles in which you  Then roll over this with another roller with minimal paint on it . This got rid off the bubbles so no need for sanding between coats .
The finished photos are before buffing so we should get
an even better shine
Its easy to do , just watch out for bugs at night , Thers a few under the paint now

Howdy Graham
I think rust kill would do the job , I think thinning it down
3 parts paint one part white spirits would help it dry quicker and give you
a better finish .. Try it out
