How Much Paint Will I Need To Paint My Car?

A common question is, How Much Paint Will I Need To Paint My Car?
There is no real 1 size fits all answer because the type of paint you use, the size of the car and gun you use will all be contributing factors but that aside I have a general rule of thumb as I will list below.
Full Respray inside and out on mid-sized sedan: 4 litres of colour 2:1 (6 litres mixed) and a 7.5-litre clear kit. This will generally leave you with some to spare but it's always handy as you may need it in future.

My general rule of thumb for 2:1 solvent-based basecoat is listed below, again if the panels are extra large or small it may vary, also some reds, yellows, greens & coarse metallic colours may require a ground coat or just a bit more to achieve coverage. The basecoat estimates are before thinner.

Door: In & Out (300ml), Out Only (200ml)
Fender: 150ml
Bonnet/Hood: In & Out (550ml), Out Only (300ml)
Boot/Trunk Lid: In & Out (500ml), Out Only (280ml)
Roof: 300ml
Bumper Bar: 300ml
Quarter Panel: 200ml

MS Clear Coat, these estimates are after hardener has been added.
