If you want to do it yourself, get four litres of paint and appropriate amounts of thinners to suit. With what sounds like no experience painting, I'd stay to the acrylic paints - easier to fix the mistakes you will always make. I use and recommend APC (Automotive Paint Centre) in Bayswater.

Also, unless you have access to a spray booth, use the acrylic. Not only does the 2pack have harmful chemicals,(does impotence and chronic migraines sound like fun?  ) the fine you have to pay if you get caught you could easily have it painted a hundred times over. Have fun

Go 2pack acrylic is a waste of time the car will never look real good and i find it is harder to fix paint faults. 4L should be enough but if you are doing it silver or any metallic use clear over base. if you decide to do a solid color just use direct gloss it means you save money on the clear. but what ever you do don't use acrylic its CRAP

Metallics are always hard to spray for a beginner spray painter especially silver because the chance of getting a mottled uneven finish is high. The cost of paint can range alot it all depends what brand and what type of 2 pack you chose. One tip never buy cheap clear you will always tell the difference.
