quick paint question

just wondering about how much paint (base color) i would need to spray my entire car(97 max with skyline kit-urethane)? would a gallon cover it nicely? what about how much clear coat i would need and how many coats of clear would u suggest? and im also wondering what is a decent price on paint? i found a shop who will sell me a gallon of urethane paint for 100$ and then 40$ for the activator

Why didn't you just ask the shop how much paint you'll need?

Just ask the shop-have u had experience on doing this on your own? Takes ***** and experience to do a nice job.

its not a shop thats doing the work for me but a friend of mine who works for the shop is spraying it for me while his boss is out of town. i just havent asked him how much i will need yet-hes hard to get ahold of, so i figured i'd ask on here real quick for some ideas.so what about price- does everyone think thats a decent price for urethane paint?

just make sure he knows what he's doing. otherwise, your car will look like pure dookie. fyi, a good paint job can be found from 1000-5000. I got mine for 1000.

Wow, am I the only one that finds this funny. Your using the shop paint booth while the boss is gone. Hope nothing catches on fire and then you all go to jail.
