    I'd get 4L to be safe....but with that said....I got 3L of 2pack cheap and my painter rekons he can do it with that. Mine's a wagon, and I'm getting the engine bay done (which got done a few months ago), exterior and door jams. I've bought 4L of a similar colour in acrylic to spray the inside rear of the wagon (it's all white so it won't be very noticeable).

    It depends on the paint and and how pro you are too, some guys can paint a whole car in less than 2 litres but for first time 4 litres would be good just be be sure you have spare coats for all the sanding of imperfections

    4 litres of paint 4 litres of undercoat and about 20 litres of thinners cos you will need some to clean out the spray gun.
    there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
