Indeed, she took me 3 months!! 5 tins of filler!! about 800 pounds worth of primer and about 1800 pounds of paint...

This probably cost the customer 20,000£ = roughly 32,000$ (Correct me if wrong)

 

[bennett326]

[Misanthrop]

Indeed.. must sleep, but i'll post some more tommorow.. this will also show people that I'm not a scammer if they still want their host's painted.

I stood back in disbelief for a moment. Then I realized you just Left out "sterling."

Ratio on the primer is 4 parts primer to one part hardener..

And the paint is a mixture of paints.. for example..

for .600 of a litre.

Around about 500g of green..
Then 30 grams of red..
20 grams of yellow..
20 grams of blue
10 grams of orange..
10 grams of black.

Then it requires de-ionized water of around 80 grams..

bringing it near enough to the .6
