How much paint?

Hey guys I haven't posted in a long time, been swamped at work and the weekends spent getting my ride ready for paint. The frame is done, new body bushings, and body work getting really close. For you guys that have recently done your Blazer/Jimmy's in base/clear, about how much paint did you end up using for the entire outside? I have the inside covered but need to buy for the outside. Looking to use the Jimmy so no trailer queen here so umpteen coats are not in it's future. Just curious so I know approximately how much to buy. Thanks

Jim

Here are some pics
