Despite what a random rodent in Pennsylvania thinks, it will be spring some time in the near future.  I need to get paint ordered, and I realize I have no idea how much I need.  Does anyone have knowledge or even a guess at the surface area of the following?

 

Topsides

Deck

Interior

 

Mine is a CS-20 mark 1 (no cabin), but input from other CS models would at least get me in the ballpark. 

  • Andy B changed the title to Surface area of CS-20.1 for paint buying?

I guess I should amend that:  1 quart of primer, 1 of color.  But if you're using primer as a fill coat, then you'll probably want two qts of primer to make sure you have enough to paint, sand, paint, sand, etc.

Btw, I used Jamestown's deck paint for the floor inside, the paint with the grit already in it.  Worked swell.  I repainted those areas 7 years later with the same stuff, still worked swell.

Andy, I think Paul’s estimates are good. I can’t remember the quantities involved in painting my CS 20 but I think it was a quart of primer and a quart of finish for the outside of the hull. I didn’t like the paint I used for the first finish coat so I changed to Interlux Brightsides for a do over. Deck is a different color. The inside is a combination of different paint and varnish. So, all told there are 5 quarts involved but not all of it used. Plus the quart of bad choice that was painted over. Good luck.
