As the title suggests I'm looking to paint my plastics at some point in the future.

Just wondering how much paint/primer/lacquer I will actually need?

Planning to do all of them gloss black except the fog surrounds which I want to colour code diamond white with gloss black fog rings.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Steve

I didn't do the grill, only washers, fogs and reflectors. 1 can each of primer, paint and lacquer was more than enough. Just scale it up accordingly

If youre new to it Id get 3 cans of black, 2 primer and 2 lacquer. Do a coat for every can. I used 1 primer 1 lacquer 2 black, but wished Id bought what I suggested as I needed more and its always good for touch ups. Just take your time fella and itll look good.
