Are you going acrylic or 2 pak? My TG took just under 7 litres in acrylic including spraying in the boot and doing the engine bay. 2 pak would require less paint, more $$$. Better to buy more paint and the same time rather than running out and having to get more mixed another time. Its never quite the same colour match.

Bearing in mind that when you buy 4lts of colour, you then mix it 1:1 with thinners to spray it giving you 8lts of paint...

I bought 6 litres of paint so if i ever smashed my car up i'd have the colour on hand. I used 7 litres worth thinned down. And the extra that i've got could probably do my car again.
