thats not very helpful mixtapes.

zero, your question isnt very specific.
do you have a sedan or wagon? are you going to be spraying the car yourself or taking it to a shop? how many coats do you want on your car?

Hey i have wagon though lol.. Well if your going to paint it yourself? well are you going to paint the same colour or a totally different colour?

Because if your going to paint the same colour it will save you a bit of time and money because if its a totally different colour you might need to sand the wholelot and do the prima coat then the guide coat sand then apply the colour and that should be minimum 6 coats. Then after its all dry you sand again to put the clear coat another minimum 6coats then you do the buffing and waxing..

I did a TVET vehicle painting course at granville tafe cert 1 during highschool. I am just giving you information from wat i learn hopefully this helps.
