Coating Cost
Note: theoretical coverage (ft²/lb) = 192.3 ÷ (specific gravity × mil thickness). Real-world spray application rarely (never) achieves 100% of theoretical coverage. First-pass transfer efficiency in a booth is typically 60–85% depending on gun setup, part geometry, and reclaim. Set the field above to your shop's actual or estimated efficiency for a realistic order quantity.
