that all depends on your skills, but if you have the car in pieces already, I would the clear it separately.

you have to sand before you clear so the paint will be even and to stick.

simple spray paint and primer cost me $less than $100 and primer, paint and whatever chemicals i need to mix in with the paint was going to be $394 (for the Omni crap) Besides the hood is done with paint just needs clear coat it is totaly even!
