For the red with silver, you could spray a straight red color and put some silver in the clear coat. That would look pretty cool and be custom.

As far as how much paint... hmmm I used a good 2 quarts of primer to prime just the exterior of the car. And that was 3 coats of primer on the areas I had done work in, and two in the areas i didn't.... So I'd say you need at least 3 quarts of primer, paint and clear.

If you plan on doing the jams as well, you might be looking at a pint to a quart of the paint and clear. Of course, you will also have reducer and hardener in there, but the paint store can give you the right amounts of that.
