Yeah, it happens from time to time. But fortunately we haven't had many issues with this. Our current painting system, 2 component based, yields a 40 to 50 micron cover for each layer. We can usually achieve the 50 microns per pass quite easily. SO considering 50 for the primer and another 50...

Right now I'm just trying to get a rough estimate so I am adding 30% over-spray just to be safe.

Thanks both. @nmf77: 0.423sq meters x 2 sides = aprox. 0.85 sq meters. @phyzguy: honestly, I don't know either, but I saw that somewhere, and thought I needed that to convert the result from an area or whatnot into liters or cubic meters and then liters.

Hi all. So I need to calculate the approximate liters of paint needed to paint 500 pieces about 0.85m2 (580mm by 730mm rectangular pieces, 2 sided) each. The specifications allow thickness of 50 microns. Also I'd like to add 30% over-spray just in case. How do I calculate the amount of...
