I've got a set of 18" alloys I'm wanting to repaint, how much paint do you reckon I'll need?
Would 1 x 400ml primer, 2 x 400ml cans of paint & 2 x 400ml of lacquer be enough?

Id go for a 2 or 3 cans of primer just to be safe, because you might need to do some flatting back etc
3 cans of the paint and 3 cans of lacquer should do you 
It all really comes down to what quality of finish you want, if your taking your time its worth doing properly
