Default EG6 Budget paint job

Hey HT. The snow melted and the weathers good. I'mm looking to paint my 94 hatch. Now this wouldn't be a huge issue if the car was the same color all around. Currently there is a shitty primer white and primer black on the car. The doors are a light blue and electron blue with the white primer painted over. So hey Imma paint it. **** Maaco because they did my friends car and the paint chipped the following winter (this is with the clearcoat!). Its mainly a DIY job with proper materials. Im painting it Duplicolor Championship white. I'm just doing the door jams and outside of the car and under the wheel welds (possibly the engine bay) . Just wondering how much paint I'll need and how much primer and clearcoat as well as any helpful advice. Thanks guys

i would say you would need about 3qts of base and clear coat. That way you have a little extra for down the road if you need to touch up anything

Duplicolor paintshop is garbage. It is lacquer, and definitely won't hold up to real clearcoat.
