Normally you can read the consumption per sqare meter on the can. Do the maths, and take into account that the spray installation needs a sip as well.

Im currently spraying mine with cellulose. The paint thins 50/50 when spraying in a gun so youl get 2 litres of paint. So 1 litre of each should do it.

Im not spaying the sides of mine yet and looks like i will deffo have enough left to do the sides if/when i decide to do them.
Depends if u want spare left of the same mixed colour should u need it later on aswell.

For myself:

1/2 litre of etch for the ali bits.
1 litre high build primer for everything
2 litres top coat

As it winter get some fast thinners.

You will need to prime the etch primer if you see what I mean.

etch is only needed on bare metal and fiber glass and u only need one light coat of it then a few coats of primer surficer or thined out high build 1 litre would be fine and depending what colour your painting and colour of your primer about 1 or 2 litres of top coat with some spair so u can touch up incase u bump it atall.
remember most paint suplyers are going water base on 1st jan so get ya colour u need asap
