A litre should be heaps as you have to remember once you mix it with your thinners you aren't going to use much of the paint on one panel.

I reckon I used about 1L to do my bonnet & 2x front guards and had a little left over.

Cool I will grab a litre. I was hoping to have a 150-200mls of un-thinned paint left as I'd like to paint the edge of the tub just above the tie-down points.

I used 1L to paint an entire side of a prado. 1L is heaps but I certainly wouldn’t buy any less than that.
