Generally 200 bucks, but I can't tell you where since you live in FL. Here's a free bump tho.

you'd be fine with about a pint or two non-sprayable for the basecoat and same for clearcoat. Then get the appropiate amount of reducer and hardeners which depends on your mixing ratios. If you use the right color sealer for your basecoat, you wont need that many coats of base.

Dont forget to use adhesion promoter and flex additives or you'll be sorry. Also dont forget your plastic preps!

IMO just get it painted at a shop because you dont want to buy things when you'll only be using it for one job. You'll be spending more that having it done at the shop, unless you plan on doing more jobs of the same color in the future.
