The best advise I can give is buy a pint kit of your paint and clear coat. And have a trial piece to see your final result before spraying your bags.

you will need the following
-wet sand 400 grit
-paint and reducer
-clear coat kit
-tack cloth
-spray gun
-air compressor
-blow gun
-lint free wipe clothes
-a hang rack
-mild soapy water and bucket
step
1-wash parts
2-sand parts till dull
3-wash yet again
4-blow off and dry parts
5- mix paint & tack cloth parts
6- apply paint (2 to 4 coats) till full coverage
7- allow to dry and tack yet again
8- apply 2 to 3 coats of top coat
9- allow to dry
10- enjoy your paint job
you would need anywhere from 2quarts to a gallon depends on paint application and paint quality

when in doubt YouTube it

good luck.

Exactly what I did. My Bags came painted from Advan Black, but I did the rest, 1st paintjob I've ever done. Very happy with the results.
