how many grips per bottle of magic marble?

Looking to do a large rod building class of ice rods with multiple colors and not sure how many bottle of Magic Marble to order.
Each grip will be three colors.
Each grip will be primered white
Each grip, with rear grip, reel seat(which will be masked off, but still take up paint) and foregrip will be 9" long.
I know that using 3 colors it takes about 15 drops per color to get the effect desired on a grip that big...

So, how many typical "drops" are there in a bottle of magic marble?

Thanks, Buzz

Have never used magic marble, but there are about 591 drops/oz, Here is a conversion site if you need it.

Doing 3 colors will make the paint go a long way and you should be able to get several grips done. Just make sure your surface area is not too large for your grips, otherwise you will waste a ton of paint.
