I would say no, but it depends on the colour and its transparency and coverage...

Thats quite an open ended question there,

I used napa martin senior paint and 2 quarts of base reduce 1 quart of basecoat will reduce to 2 quarts of sprayable material.

However other paints such as PPG paint cost a considerable amount of money more sometimes reduce to 1quart of basecoat will make 4 sprayable coats of material.

I would get more paint then you need so you can always fix muckups later.

check the datasheet's of the basecoat to figure out what paint mfg you will go with.

good luck
