    Finally got around to cleaning the booth out, and decided it was time for a little paint. Got a gallon of U-Tech 3.5 for it. That stuff sprayed effortlessly and has a great finish, puts some of the other products out there to shame :p

    I’ll put up a picture in the next day or so.

    I know what you mean Ben,I did that over Christmas break.Utech is a fantasic product,it hasn’t let us down yet in over 13 years of use.They have awesome basecoat and single stage systems.

    So what would be estimated cost on enough paint to do a booth?

    May 24, 2012 at 5:59 am #37012

    Around $150 -$200 for 5-6 sprayable Litres,I would have to double check tomorrow for exact cost.If you do it in 2.8 you only need one coat;)

    I was pretty impressed with the hiding abilities… considering its white and all. 1 coat was basically enough. I take back anything good I ever said about Delfleet 🙂

    Cost to do the booth was around $230 or so for paint/hardener. Definitely used less than I would have with other single stage products.

    I sprayed it with a crappy old Devilbiss finishline with a 1.5 tip, and it still looked nice. Seemed to have great mil build too!

    Seems comparable to Imron 5000, but better

    All painted up. Today I applied the booth coating, cleaned the floor and changed the filter. All ready to go again.
