How much paint needed to spray an FC?

How much paint is needed to do an FC paint job? I'm doing a bare metal paint job epoxy, 2k, epoxy, bc/cc. I can't find anywhere that documents the surface area of the fc. I likely won't be doing the engine bay this time, but will cover everything else. I'm going to use SPI product for everything but the base and filler if anyone has worked with it before. I'll probably go PPG on the base, going Crystal White again.

What quantities should I be ordering? I don't want to over buy too much.

Thanks,

Josh

are you doin a 2 stage or a single stage?> If using PPG DBC 2 stage, (which you should) youre going to use a little over half a gallon for an entire car with jambs. That is mixxed 1/1 so you will have 1 gallon mixxed. Other variables are how good quality of a gun you use, but thats a close estimate. I have a CF hood and hatch on my FD, i used next to no paint at all it was great!
