probably not the best kind of event for a new team, as the quick turn arounds could be a problem and you might not have accumulated as much kit as some teams ie pots etc but if you fancy that you can handle it give it a go, i'm sure that most of the teams will be helping each other out.
as for paint consumption i'd guess you would average less than a box a point depending on how much paint your guys throw.
good luck either way, i'm sure this is gonna be a fantastic event having seen how much dave and his crew have done since they moved up the road.
