    you should strip the paint off, polish the metal and put a metal clearcoat on it sorry im not much of a help. i can ask my old work for you though.

          Dammit Jed... Why the hell woulden't you ask me... Depends if your just doing the outside or jams and everything.. Ideal would be to go with a Gallon of paint and a Gallon of Clear so that you would have some left over. But 3 quarts will do the outside + jams just fine... Hit me up mang..

                I'd say 2-3 Quarts of base, and a gallon of clearcoat.

                Alot of times it's cheaper to buy gallon/gallon, than it is to buy a bunch of smaller cans. And I find that if the paint is all mixed at the same time in the same container at once, the chance of color match problems is almost slim to none.

                When I did my Accord I bought a gallon of basecoat (when reduced it makes two gallons) and 1 gallon of clearcoat. I still have about a half a quart of base left and about a half a quart of clear left. But again, I used a hell of alot of clear and base on my car.
