not an easy question, depens on a few of things, paint type, weather you are using an hvlp or standard siphon gun, and how many coats of paint. to just give you a ballpark, go with a gallon to a gallon and a half for the green, and a quart to quart and a half for yellow for the wheels, figuring two to three coats.

cup is on top, you got a gravity gun, hvlp. good gun. as far as paint, use the primer and thinner(or reducer) that the paint recommends. everything needs to be compatible otherwise you could run in to problems if its your first paint job. if its a working girl and not a trailer queen, any good tractor enamel will be fine. i tried some majic paint made from soy bean oil from the local big r store on an old jd 301 a, came out pretty good, paint 7-8 dollars a quart, reducer and hardener about the same price, heres a few pics.
