Probably no more than a pint but i would get a quart to be on the safe side if you need to paint anything down the road. Also depends on how many base coats your sparying on the bumper as well...

All you need is half a pint if it's a 1:1 mix ratio. I sprayed the same exact bumper with the same oem color (black with blue metalics) with a half a pint of PPG DBC base. I still have the other half a pint left cause my jobber only sells it by a pint at the least. Don't forget you need primer sealer and clear too. Here's some pics!
