Not sure Chris. When I was 17 I resprayed my swb series 3 landy and that took less than 4l. I've already done the bonnet and front quarters and have 4l of paint sitting here so hopefully it's enough. I've also got 2l of penetrol which makes 'more paint' and also helps the paint go on like glass.
Will give it a thorough wipe down with thinners tomorrow then it's turning black.

My god you have been busy....... !!!!!!
Yep. Fingers are sore and I haven't eaten lunch yet, but I've managed to get a lot done.
Nice work! You've inspired me I already started stripping the paint on mine today. Gonna strip it right back to the metal and build it back up. Got all the gear on order too just need to get the paint ordered just had no idea how much I'd need to do a SWB
Awesome work mate!
It will be better than new soon.
Cheers.

First coat on. Very painful day. Air compressor died in the arse and my spray gun wanted to leak everywhere. So down to Bunnings and hired an air compressor and bought a new spray gun. Problem with this was the amount of paint it put out so the RH side of the car has a lot of runs that need to be fixed first thing tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
I missed something......
Your not painting the rest with the roller?
Nope. Was going to take way too long and I just couldn't be bothered. Spraying is a lot quicker!
Wet sanded it all down and rubbed out all the runs followed by more coats of paint. Will hopefully be able to get some shots of it out in the sun tomorrow. Have no idea how it will look outside, fingers are crossed because it hasn't been an easy process...

Coming along. Should be drive able tomorrow. Have got abit of orange peel and some runs that I need to correct. Will have to live with them for now because it will take the paint a month or two to harden fully.
