    How much paint do I need for...

    repainting my bumpers (front and rear), as well as hood?

    Car in question is a 97 e36 m3, in techno violet. I've painted before, but had a gallon at my disposal, but that was an overall job.

    I'm thinking... a quart of paint, quart of clear, quart of reducer and hardener... so about 2 quarts of sprayable paint and clear after mixing.... correct? I don't want to buy too little, but stuff is not cheap so I don't want to buy extra either.

    a quart of primer should be good enough too right? I'll use it as both primer filler and sealer.

    Thanks for the input.
