allright, im just wondering how much this all is going to cost me. me and my friend are going to be doing it, just wanted to know how much of this i should get. most of the stuff i need they sell by the quart or the gallon at the local paint shop.

Self-Etching Primer
Epoxy Primer
Basecoat
Clearcoat

just wondering how much of each im gonna need, its for a '66 malibu. price estimate will be helpful too. thanks

EDIT: how much would it be to rent a Media Blaster w/Glass bead. already have a big air compressor. just need an estimate for the blaster and the media(and how much i need)

Lots of variables John. Are you painting the jambs,eng comp etc. I did and this is what i used.
Etch: 1qt+ activator(qt)=1/2 gal sprayable.
2k primer: 1 Gallon+ catalyst(qt)
base: 1gal cut 2:1 =1.5 gal sprayable
clear 1.25 gal +hardener.
Prices vary alot between different paint brands and economy lines.
