Amount of paint required

I am about to paint a 28 Model A coupe(no fenders or running boards) with urethane basecoat/clearcoat. I am an old enamel paint shooter and am not familiar with the new systems. How much basecoat, clear and reducer will I need? Consider I would like a little left over for repairs down the line.

Thanks - Jerry

Will be using a HVLP gun.

A car that small should be good with a one gallon set up kit (one gal base, one gal reducer, one gal clear)
