The paint will most likely be PPG Cobra (2 pac in Australia) it will go over an epoxy base with HI fill primer over that .What quantities will I need to buy of each please |

Depends on total material with hardener and reducer and how many coats.
Last bay I did I used 3/4 of a gallon of color for the belt line up and roof with a 4:1:1 mix ration.
For the bottom and interior I used a gallon of color.
I did 3 coats single stage.
