Don't think it'll stretch that far. All depends on how many coats you apply.
You'll probably get 1 maybe 2 coats on both front and rear with one can.
I used nearly a full can just on my spoiler, but I don't want to talk about that other than make sure it doesn't get too cold whilst it's drying. Gutted my spoiler dried very cloudy as the temp dropped really quickly as it was drying.

Take the door card of & unclip the handle, doesnt get much easier.
Torx 20 screwdriver to remove the door card, a whopping up to 4 torx 20 screws to remove, rest of door card is cliped on. |
Not done it myself so I can only imagine.
Good luck

Should have reserved it via their website.. That way even the mixed up cans have to be sold at web price
I reserved some for mine a lil while ago because it said in stock on the web.. Got there and they were like sorry we haven't actually got them here.. But offered to mix some up and honour the price
