Hey ivan, after doing mine id say budget bout 1 1/2 cans of paint, 1/2 can of primer and 3/4 can of laquer PER WHEEL if using the 600ml cans from halfrauds mate thats what it took to do 4 of mine with one still to do you'll spend 50-60 quid in paint on all four..

I ended up using 2 and a bit cans of colour(rover stone grey) 1 and 1/2 of primer and under 1 can of laquer, all halfords own stuff when i refurbed my f1's.

i used 3 large cans of primer, 3 large cans of laquer and 4 cans of paint. you may not need that much but i put on a good few layers of each especially laquer to get them shiny. all can be had from halfords mate

3 large ones of each I think. Don't do the coats too think! Thin layers is the best way to do it.
