impcon Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I am thinking of ordering some OEM colours from Scale Finishes and I am wondering how much paint I would require for a 1/25 scale model car if it was all one colour - say for example, a '59 Cadillac. Would I require one or two ounces for a build on average? I know that coverage properties vary by colour, but would one ounce usually be enough for a single tone paint job?

my80malibu Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 In a perfect world one ounce is plenty,in my world two is never enough.
Bill J Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I get the 2 ounce bottles and can almost always get 2 full bodies out of the 2 ounces. If I am only painting one body, I prefer to have extra paint available in case I have to reshoot. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that after 2 years the paint is still good in it's bottle, so extra is a good thing.
