Default How much paint would I need?

So I'm about to spray my 98 Integra rear bumper Adriatic Blue Pearl. I bought one 12.5 oz can of basecoat and another one 12.5 oz of clear coat. I plan on spraying 2 medium coats of the base and 2-3 medium coats of clear. I was just wondering if this is enough, or do I need more? Also what kind of primer should I buy for the bumper and how much?
