How much paint is needed to fully paint a tC (engine bay, door jams, trunk, etc.)?? i plan on getting my car sprayed a different color, but want to buy the paint and clear myself to try to save a little on the total cost of the job... Is 1 gallon of paint and 1 gallon of clear enough??

don't forget primer! (unless you're letting the shop take care of that)

yea i didnt forget about primer.. im just debating on which color to go with now... i either want the white diamond tricoat off the new cadillacs or the sundance metallic off the toyota matrix... current color of my car is very similar o the sundance metallic, just a little darker so if i go that route, ill let the shop use their own primer but if i go with the white, im getting the white primer for it to make sure they dont use the regular grey and the color doesnt come out the way i want you know...

i haven't decided on which shop to use yet, but i should call around and see what shops say...

yeah just call a couple shops and see if they can give you a ball park idea and i would also check to see how much they charge for the paint for a price to compare

ill call some shops around and see what they say... just thought i'd ask here first since it's tC related and not for just any car...
