Cheech should know drop him a pm. Indeed he will. Doubtless it will depend of many factors from what I've learnt from him.

so have you got just 2ltrs of 2k HS topcoat .
as you should have a 1ltr of hardener and 1/2ltr of thinners.
the mix ratio will most likely be 2:1:10% . so 2parts topcoat to 1 part hardener 10% thinners . so 2ltrs will make 3ltrs or just over if you add thinners . it may be different like 3:1 all info should be on tin or data sheet .you need to know this before you start mixing the paint for use .
you may or may not need the thinners . i normaly add some though, flows the paint better. dont over thin the paint it will all head south.
you should have enough paint as its a 2k HS (high soild) and wont need clear coat . 1-2 coats should cover and be all thats needed.
if your painting it yourself you will either pull it off to some degree or it will go badly wrong . make sure your wearing a mask while painting too , its nasty stuff to be breathing in .
good luck.
