Default how much for paint

I was wanting to find out approximately how much it would cost for enough

I need the cost of paint and a good clear as well as hardners and other necessary chemicals

well ppg in viper blue is about 450 a gallon and 850 for the kit
while this http://www.tcpglobal.com/autobodydepot/] has pretty good paint if you wet sand it and so some extra clear

all of this is off the top of my head as i am not at work to check...

paint-350
clear-160
hardner for clear-105
reducer-50

thats what the prices are about for Diamont in my area, but you also have to consider primer, sealer and activator also. hope this helps you some.

All of the major paint companies PPG, BASF, Dupont, have a better line of paint that is around that price.
