i had 3 litres, which thinning down 50/50 with paint thinners so its like 6 litres of paint! was plenty for the last car i did, but that was smoke gray so closer to primer colour!

and this colour is very pearly so have poorer covereage, think i will have enough paint!

will get some pics of tonights progress tomorrow morning if i get time, back to work tomorrow, so progress will slow down

Are those pics before laquer?

What do you do after you have painted to get the paint looking good, do you machine polish/use G3 or anything?

Inner wings aren't painted as the wings are normally painted on the car. Engine bay can only be done with the engine out, or after a lot of dismantling.
