I have spoken to heaps of painters and most will tell you a different thing ,but it will depend on the colour.A dark colour covers better so you won't need as much before you cant see thought the paint.I did my KE20 in a little less than 4lts but it was dark grey, on the other hand my brothers hilux needed a bit over 8lts to get it right but it was stright Yellow tinter plus it's a bit bigger than the KE20
I would say with red aleast 4lts maybe 6 just to be safe.stick with a standard colour buy 4lts and see how you go.
Good luck with it

Also tryin to figure out about colour. I wouldn't mind doin it the standard colour, but i've taken a liking to the colour that appears on these cars

Dude i know you have changed your mind on colour now, but do you realise that colour on those 2 toyotas, is the same as your original colour, 'Super Red II, 3E5'. Toyota haven't changed there colours in years

4ltrs will probably be too much if your simply doing an overcoast of the standard colour. youll be suprised how far 2.5L will go.
also how are you planing on spraying this on?
- what size compressor do you have?needs to be over 2.5.horse power
- where are you spraying it? do you have access to a booth?
- whos spraying it for you? with it just being a top coat (if thats what you decide on) then the chances of running will increase and it may be tricky to get the hang of.
- what type of paint will you be getting? 2pac has to be sprayed in a booth because its illegal to vent into the atmosphere.
- if you do manage to get 2pac it cant be done through a gravity fed gun.
other than that make sure you do ALOT of sanding and get pin dents out. dont let your primer get wet and try to let the primer stand for as close to 24hrs as possible.
you will also need a few ltrs if clear
