    I also want to know this, and how much normal paint I need.

    I want to use spray can primer filler, then spray can rust paint to do the whole car. Both are 300 gram cans. Thinking for the paint, it will be a few, primer you can prob spray on thicker though....

    more than 4 im sure! More lyk 10-20

    About 4 litres, depending on how many coats you do. But for primer, you would probably only need one coat.
    Well i'm pretty certain its somewhere around 4 litres, so if im wrong someone correct me.

    probably 6-8 ish, takes 1 can to paint a fender with 2.5 coats of areosal paint. Id like to be able to go back in time and get an electric paintspray from princess auto, they have them forsale for 15 dollars, then get a gallon of paint for 30 dollars. If the paint fails that I put on with cans im gonan do it that way. Its way to cold now to paint the car, i did the fender indoors. If you do it outside the paint will tend to fly away more, inside u get a lot more coverage
