it all depends....i used 2qt on the black on my car and 2qt on the red on my car this included the door jams and the engine bay. I would say you will need 4 qt that will leave you with some extra as well...you will also be getting the reducer and probabily a hardener with the clear coat. What type of paint are you useing? PPG or House of Kolor? Both are really good brands but i'd say 4 qt will be plenty like i said all together i used 4 qt and that was for the whole car as well as my interior, wing, door jams, engine bay, and such. That should be plenty. Good luck with your painting
