I have 0.25l for my 110 roof + hardener at 1:1.
This I am told is more than enough for spraying.

Ebay do some pretty cheap deals on paint kits. Remember the etch  primer.

any paint will be better than whats on it it has been painted by a blind man using a lumpy roller will have to go back to bare metal first or at least remove the green layer back to the orange underneath
