yeah but why would i go spend a crap load on paint when its my first time painting??

and what about my reducer question

so if i am to get the paint kit with a quart of reducer will i need more then that

it would be use for the Clear coat, thePaint, and the primer and its a 4-1 so would i need more then one quart??

if i had the money i would just take it to a shop to get it painted

youll wish you did in a few months when teh cheap stuff dulls off and looks like hell.
you can save some money prepping it mostly yourself and then having it shot.
