Hey guys,
I'm spraying my Celica XX, and its coming to the time when I have to be buying my paint. Obviously, I don't want to buy too much, I don't have money to burn 
The whole car is going to receive 2 coats of POR15 rust paint. The bits that have had rust repaired already have 3 coats on them. In theory, the body itself should never rust again  How much should I be buying of this? It comes in 1l cans of about $66, or 4l for $198.
Its going to receive two coats of POR15 primer, which is fine. I've been told by PPC to purchase the same amount of primer as POR15.
The car is going to be sprayed in pearl white acrylic paint. How many coats of this should I be using? Having said that, how much of this should I buy?
Lastly, the car is going to receive two coats of Glisten PC, which is PPC's clear coat, and they suggested this is what should be done. 1l covers 15sqm apparently, so how many would someone estimate I'd need?
Basically, its the quantities I'm curious about, because I've never sprayed a car before, nor have I had the need to buy paint for one like this. If anyone else has any other suggestions about any of the prep, or painting or whatever...PLLLEEEEEEEEAAASSSEEE tell me I'm all ears!
Thanks,
Nathan
