Its a 36 !.....black is a magnifying glass for imperfection, if your a serious beginner and are **** about your car, dont do it. The slightest speck of dirt in the paint or clear will show up as a big eye sore, a run will show up like its neon green. Bad bodywork will show up like you put an arrow pointing at it and sand scratches will look hideous if you dont prep it right. Orange peel is a nightmare if your a beginner spraying a black base/clear or even a single stage enamel. Black is a touchy color, you have to do everything right to get the desired flat/mirror effect. You are in for a shitty result if your doing this in a garage or youve never laid black paint and clear before. You also will definitely need some high grit paper, high speed buffer and some good pads and compounds to assist in getting the clear right. Doing a panel is a different story cause you can take alot more time and be extra careful about dirt issues and such, but if your painting the entire car your gonna have trouble if youve never done this before.

Paint the inside? As in the Dash.. Or are you talking about the door jambs? I hope you are not talking about painting underneath the carpet because that's pointless unless you will be using a roll cage.
