Red face (how much) paint needed

In order to paint a brand new aftermarket bumper, how much paint will be needed? Like how many spray paint cans will a bumper cover need to be thoroughly painted? Including clear coat, And how many coats of each?

if you are going to spray paint it with rattle cans it will end up looking like crap. pay a body shop to correctly prep, and paint it, or you will regret it.

I agree with the others get it done right with a body shop or if you can paint yourself with a HVLP gun. Don't do the rattle cans. I have a front Roush bumper I am going to paint myself and I went to the local auto parts store. the paint guy wanted to hand me some rattle cans for the primer on a 600+ dollar bumper. I laughed at him!
