Ok so I'm gonna be painting my car, I mostly wanna take care of some damaged areas to both the quarter panels and passenger fender but i'll probably end up just spraying the whole car since theres plenty of rock chips at the front bumper and hood and other nicks here and there, I got the code for my paint color 3L2 i'm just wondering how much paint will I need and how much clear coat? thanks for any advise

have been looking into repainting my car and looking for additional input.
I just want to know how much base coat I will need. The primer is cheap, so I will buy a gallon of it. (I will not be painting door jams, firewall, or new carbon fiber hood,ect. just purely to coat the outside well. Oh and im painting it orange if that matters.) I have seen everywhere from 2 pints to a gallon and a half? I need more input from a bunch of different people who know painting, just looking for an estimate. Also I will be using a spray gun obviously, and paint that is "ready" no catalyst or anything, if that matters. The paint I want is $75 a quart, is this alot? ($40 a pint I think?) thanks everyone
