Im planning to paint my shadowlines and my grille black soon and was wondering how much paint I was going to need? Can anyone who has done this mod shed any light? I was going to buy single 400ml spray cans of primer, paint and clearcoat. Do you think this will go far enough? Thanks!

+1 I did this last year and prep is the key, the painting takes no time, but the prep took a while. I still need to redo mine since I could do way better - good luck.
