How much epoxy and 2k will I need? Crew cab long bed pickup.

Any estimates on how much epoxy and 2k I will need? I'm going to be jamming the truck but I'm not painting the inside of the bed or inside the cab. I plan to to do the recommended epoxy over my bare metal, followed by (I'm guessing could use advice here) three coats of 2k high build, followed by another round of epoxy reduced as a sealer before I do my base color.

Thanks! I'm sure this question has been asked before but I want to be sure with my specific application.
 
So it's looking like probably a gallon of each should do the trick. I think I'll order that much to begin with and hope for the best.
 
A gallon of epoxy makes two gallons RTS so it will be plenty. As for 2k it depends on how many rounds of block sanding are needed to get it straight.
I like to spray the epoxy, let it cure overnight and then lightly block sand to reveal low spots. If you have a lot of areas requiring attention then a polyester primer like Slick Sand would be a better choice for the first stage. Higher build, no shrinkage and you block sand with a coarse grit until you see epoxy primer showing.
 
I really like those polyester primers. But I don't have a gun to spray it with and I just don't know if it's worth it for my build.
