Go down and talk to your local paint jobber. They will let you know how much material you will need. I would also suggest looking into purchasing some painting videos.

I highly recommend Paintucation "Paint your car", by Kevin Tetz. Here is a link.

You can purchase the same dvd's off ebay for a little less too.

 

Most base coats mix 1:1 with the reducer/basemaker. So I would say 3/4 gallon minimum for just the outside no other jambs or anything to make sure you have plenty. The clear mixes 4:1 with the activator in most applications, and sprays thicker, I would say around 1/2 gallon, from what I recall I haven't painted anything in a while that large. You can always go and get more or have someone go and get more while you are painting if you run out.

 

HOK base coat is a high solids formula so you will really only need about 2 quarts of black, just spray on 3 coats. As for the clear coat, I would just get a gallon becuase with black paint, I have always found it best to lay down 6 coats of clear, 3 first, then cure, then wet sand with 600g and 3 more coats and you have one deep black pit for a paint job.
