Simply superb!

How far do the spray cans go as I think I will be taking the plunge with woolies.

you get 4 cans of paint, i painted the rear seat, one front seat, one front seat back, both door cards and the pull straps, i have approx half a can left over, i gave everything approx 4-5 coats, but obviously ration the paint accordingly, i wasn't sure if i would have enough so i did all the seats in one go, so i could be sure i would have enough.
You use the primer and cleaner sparingly and there should be plenty, i have half a bottle of each leftover.
Make sure you get everything as clean and dry as possible, space obviously can be a problem.
Between coats i wiped them over, as they get covered in overspray, i just used a slightly damp cloth.
Wear a mask for the painting.
