painting engine compartment...

ok, i'm getting close to being ready to paint my engine compartment, I'm not going all out and doing the firewall, frame rails etc, Just whats visable and slightly more like upper rad support, shock towers. Since its a 4th gen, the firewall isnt even seen basically.

I just got a compressor, 60gal vertical, and i'm gonna buy or borrow a small detail spray gun just to shoot the engine compartment.

Any idea on how much paint will be needed?
What are good brands?
Anyone know the paint code for "light Pewter metallic"?
I should do self-etching primer, then color, then clear, correct?
How many coats of each?
What psi do i set the gun at or will it say?

finally, if anyone does do painting and would be willing to do the job for me, i can tow the car wherever, just give me a rough estimate, i have current pics of the areas that I want painted.
