Paint multiple models at once to save time
How We Calculate This
This calculator estimates painting time using base hours for each model size, adjusted for paint scheme complexity and batch painting efficiency.
The formula
Hours per model = Base time x Complexity multiplier x Batch factor
Total hours = Model count x Hours per model
Calendar days = Total hours / Painting hours per day
