The complete body in semi OD will be just around a gallon, unless you do multi coats. Most of the mutts I bought were sprayed or brushed in the (ugly) flat green on the inside. Expect to use about a gallon of the IRR flat green, and the other colors (black and OD) will be under a quart each.

Personally, I would do the semi gloss underneath, then undercoat the underneath including inside the wheel wells as was originally done with the Ziebart. Between the sandblasting effect of the wheels and the operators using the high temp steam jennies on the trucks, not a lot of the ziebart remained in the wheel wells.

Sandblasting will get into areas that the paint gun will not. Use extra effort trying to get paint underneath the strengthening lips on the top edges of the body.
