How many coats of paint is 1 mm?

The thickness of a coat of paint can vary based on the type of paint and application method, but generally, a single coat of paint is about 30 to 50 microns thick, or 0.03 to 0.05 mm. Therefore, it would take approximately 20 to 33 coats of paint to reach a thickness of 1 mm, depending on the specific paint used.


What is high build paint?

A high build paint can be sprayed thicker without running or sagging. This is important when you are trying to get better hiding properties. We use a high build paint for our contractor grade paint on new construction houses. From a Glidden web site I saw that their high build paint could be sprayed up to 20 mils thick, whereas from a Diamond-Vogel web site I saw that their non-high build paint could only be sprayed to a thickness of 4 or 5 mils. Using a high build paint also helps when you are not using a primer because the drywall paper and drywall compound could prematurely suck out the water out of a thinner coat of paint causing the paint to crack or cure improperly.

How do you seal a garden water fountain?

I have fighting a fountain for 20 years and finally found a solution. Caulk does not work well as it only lasts a short time submerged. The substrate is also not one that adheres well to caulk. The answer is Blue Max rubberized paint. It comes in a paste format that is as thick as pudding. Paint one layer at the joint where all the trouble begins and lay their mending tape into the wet paint. Then paint a second coat over that one. After it drys, paint another coat. When that dries paint the entire inside with Thoroseal tinted to the color you prefer. It will flex with movement at the joint and not leak. Good luck.
