Planning estimate only. Actual use changes with panel dimensions, pigment, sealer shade, gun transfer efficiency, overlap, technique, and repairs. Confirm the current product data sheet and local VOC requirements before use. HFP-Series and OMNI MBC require a compatible clearcoat; OMNI MTK is a single-stage topcoat.
