So I just got in my airtech front fender and i am going to paint it.  I am going with the colorite factory paint and using my airbrush.  I am also considering repainting my frame covers too.  How much paint should I order?  I have to do a basecoat and topcoat, each being $80 for 1/2 pint. 

How much should I order?  I dont wanna run out, but being so expensive, I also dont want to order too much and overspend.

if you mean a spray gun you will only need about 2 quarts for a fully faired bike. I repainted my F with 4 12oz spray cans and still have a half can left. you may get away with one primer one base and one clear depending how you want to paint me I just painted the outside of everything with red and the inside only primer I did about 2-3 coats of everything a wet sanded the base and clear. if you only need a base and clear and you have an E model than 1 quart each will be more than enough. and please dont use and airbrush gun it will take forever get a good HVLP gun and a compressor and youll make it look great.
