How much brake fluid for complete flush?

I am going to be changing out my brakes soon with new Brembo blank rotors, Hawk HP Super Duty pads, Earls braided SS lines and complete fluid change with ATE Super Blue. I just need to know how much fluid I am going to need to completely flush out all the old fluid. Will 2 liters be enough?

I would think that would be more than enough.

When I had mine done, I brought 2 cans of ATE. The mechanic only needed one.

It's right around one liter, but I always have two on hand just in case.

Thanks guys, I am going to go ahead and get 2 liters to be on the safe side. Just wanted to know that would be plenty enough and it looks like it will be.
