Paint quantity?

[BOSOX]

I'm looking to bc/cc my jeep

I'm wondering how much product I'll need to cover it?
base coat (2 tones)
mid coat
clear
My guess is 1-2 quarts per color. The cage is the wild card. I've got no idea how much paint is needed for tubing...
1 quart of midcoat for the flake
2 quarts of clear
I'm trying to get a list of supplies together.
Let me know if my estimates are way off.

I would say a quart of the base color, and a quart of the midcoat.

2 quarts should do it, but you might as well buy a gallon. If you have to reclear, then this should be enough to do the first and second clear. This would be for the exterior only.

Lot's of variables though, so amounts are only a suggestion.

Thanks for the advice! Aside from the hood and doors there isn't much sheet metal. But I'm thinking the cage/tube will eat up some paint...
I'll get a gallon of clear to be safe.
What does everybody do with leftover(reduced) paint? Worth saving?
