Default paint pros.. i need your help!!

ok, well i have decided to paint my car myself..and i need a few questions answered.

the colors i have to decided between
1. voltage blue met - year 2000 honda
color chip formula 5635
mfg pnt cd b97m-s

2.vivid blue pearl - year 2003 honda
color chip formula 6176
mfg pnt cd b520p-u

now i have a 94 hatch, i plan on painting the car obviously, and the door jambs and engine bay.

now how much paint do you think i will need? 2 gallons? and what hardner and reducer? how much of each? how much clear? what are the mix ratios? i planned on spraying as a acrylic enamel. are there are pros or cons between the colors, as in spray technique?

all of my information was located from this web site..

if you buy ppg deltron paint 1 gallon should be enough the mixing ratio is 1 to 1 so that will give you 2 gallons
