Depends on the paint you're going to use, 2k high build primer will use less than a normal primer, bare metal will need an etch primer or an Epoxy primer.
The top coat will also depend on the type of paint and are you doing metalic or a solid colour, if you're doing it in a special colour you might also need a ground coat.
I would also buy more paint than you need so you have an exact match for any repairs needed later, if you're keeping it.

I'd estimate
1 wash etch
2 - 4 high build primer
1 - 2 silver
2 green
3 clear
3+ hardner
5 thinners
but it greatly depends on the prep and how you spray it on, the gun type, etc, you could use less or considerably more.
