Default Painting neon?

I seen on the duplicolor website, they have a new paint called the paint shop its all pre mixed and ready to spray. You can get the primer color, and the clear for 19.95 a quart. I was wondering how much paint it would take to paint my 95 4 door neon? Also has anyone heard of, or used this duplicolor paint shop paint? Thanks for any info.

honestly i would only put a real paint job on it if you want it to be a nice car for a longer time
all of the cheaper paint doesnt have the UV protection and they fade quick and rust comes through.
if its just a driver car that your wanting to make it look a little better give it a shot.

It had to do with the "new world paint" that they were using. Environmentally safe, but crappy.
