I know paint codes not really names of them. and also you are thinking about the S15 conversion? and also which type of paint do you want... I know that sounds like a dumb question but there are many grades of paint. the cheaper brands tend to give you more balancer and binder and less color or pigment which takes more to cover its cheaper on the dollar side but when it takes more coasts to cover it will tend to need more paint. and as far as clears goes. there is a 50 dollar clear all the way to 400 to 450 a gallon after the clear, hardner and reducer. so its really better if someone knows what they want to spend and try to get the paint and clear in their range. thats what most of the cost is ..is for the materials.
thanks

Heh my shells the one in the back with the hood being held up with a broom stick primered black no motor/tranny and interior just sitting inside lol. I'd be putting the conversion on before the paint prolly. But really looking to spend anywhere from 2k-2.5k on paint for it to look right and not look cheap I know paint quality and look depends mostly on prices about how many gallons would you say it would take to paint the whole car including the engine bay? I'll get you those paint codes in a minute.
Bayside Blue = TV2 and Fiji Blue Pearl = B529P
