i'm completely going out on a limb here, but i know that a front fascia is 200 canadian, so about 175 US dollars, soooo....500 or less for all the parts you mentioned, and i don't have a clue where you could buy paint online.....hope the little bit I said helped though.

Here you can go to a couple of different shops that supply the body shops, and get what you want, all you need is the paint code for what color you want... one of the shops even has a camera thing they lay on your paint and it comes up with a custom mix to match older paint.. I had to do that to repaint part of my SuperHawk..

I got a gallon to shoot the entire car, and had like nil left so take it from there??...Qt maybe would suffice...

Like maypo59 suggested...hit up a local body shop or dealership...where you live in the Cape, there should be mucho places to get it...

hope you have good guns??? Metallic is a mofo to paint....you'll get tiger striping where all the flakes tend to pile up...ask about shooting that...i know the last coat you have to lift your gun 3 ft off the panel or so and kinda "fog" it to get the metal flake to blend in...painted my sons truck in Titanium and it was metal flake...tough stuff to paint...but hey, its cool doing your own stuff anyway...

We paid damn near 300.00 a gallon each, for both the Red and that Titanium...so a qt or 1/2 gallon...plus the clear.....i'd say 200.00 in supplies ????

you should be able to do a bumper, hood, and fender with a qt of the green. get another qt for clear. red is one of the most expensive colors..just take the paint code for your green to some different paint shops and see what they charge to mix it up
