i bought my paint mail order from jawel paints very good service, even cheaper if you pick one of their standard colours i got 5 litres of green and five litres of white plus 2 litres thinners delivered for about ?70, i bought way to much, a litre of each with thinners will be more than enough

I too used Jawel Paints - single pack. Although having seen the finish of Shug's paint I'd used his supplier.
Maybe my garage wasn't warm enough but it didn't flow out the same as oter paints I've used.

jawels acrylic will brush on a treat with a little thinners in it, and dry quick enough for outside use
practice first though and if you are after a good finish spend good money on a good brush not the disposable types
read up on coachpainting  on the web

i painted the 110 with about 1 litre bearing in mind your add thinners to it , i would buy 2 litres, but you may find like me i bought a stock green which related to a landrover green of old, that it was cheaper to buy 5 litres in a tin.
stock colours are way cheaper than having them mixed, they do red yellow green white black blue off the shelf

Yip,
 vehicle & commercial paint suppliers will supply paint for many uses & means of application, spray, brush, roller.
Often best just to ask your most local place.
Quite possibly the cheapest way.

Dont over purchase the quantity if unsure of the coverage or usage.
Just make sure that they can quickly re-supply you with the exact match
if you run out or require to purchase more.
