My car is a 1999 homda civic. Rigjt now its still green but I found some spray cans of chalknoard paint that I wanna re-paint it with. I was wondering if anyone migjt know how many cans it will take and if there is a easy way to apply it.

Do not paint your car with chalkboard paint. Or with spray cans. End of story.

Typically, one needs about a gallon of paint to cover a car. The surface must be properly prepped but I don't recommend even using primer in this case as the stuff won't last and will end up looking like crap in a very short time.
