with 1 litre of paint, by the time u added thinners and hardner that will come to 2 litre , paint always doubles , with 1 litre of paint (2 litres once all mixed ) i sprayed bumper bonnet 2 wings and a spoiler and still had some left over

laquer will be 1 one litre once mixed

primer will all depend if u use two pack primer or synthetic primer , normaly primer doubles again like the top coat, the more thinners you add the thiner it gets

i dout ur have to use hardner if ur laquering ur car , theres two diffrent types of two pack paint , i think base coat needs laquering and top coat dont need laquering but top coat needs hardner ,
diffrent people do it diffrent ways , best off asking them when u buy the paint and there give u everything you need
