How much paint do i need for a hatch

[allkarma]

Hi all,i have reprayed a couple of project cars of mine and my brothers.
Whilst doing this discovered celly is crap and 2k rocks,but with everything you get what you pay for to achieve the best results,which means this up and comming respray is gonna cost a lot more.
I was wondering as a general rule how much paint would i need to respray a 2007 honda civic ie
how much

Primmer
base
clear coat.


I know that its a general rule to make sure you have enough and a bit extra,but in the past ive had liters and liters left.
Cheers for any advice

that is the question,as a pro sprayer,id get away with 1ltr primer1-1 1/2 baseand a ltr a of lac. but you could well double that amount.depends or equipment, technique.
