Nice way to stay on topic guys!!!!! ( nice work Jay, i'm an Iwata man myself!!!) well from experience i'd say your gonna need 2gallons of clear and 2-3 gallons of paint depending on the color and finish. the price is gonna be baseds on what paint you get. SOMETIMES shops that do fleet jobs will have extra bulk paint you can buy for cheap. I use mostly House of Kolor paints and love them, however they are a bit pricey......
Rough cost on paint?

$200 paint job? The only way you're getting a paint job that cheap is a Krylon job.

i think he ment 200 for the painters time/equipment. Im not gonna lie that is a bit cheap for our size trucks. Like mentioned before head to your local paint shop and talk about your options. you can spend a lot on paint depending on pigment, pearl, metallic, single stage, base/clear, ect... or you can spend a little and have a paint job that looks good for a short amount of time. Just do your self a favor and take your time on the prep work, it will make or break a paint job no matter how expensive the paint is.
yup thats why i cringe a a 200.00 for labor paint job. our trucks are big and most will need hours of TLC so even at 50.00 an hour i can see 200.00 in just prep work then 3-4 more hours to paint it maybe 5 if they don't use a hot reducer.....
chaging paint color or just a recoat of stock color? I paid $4000 to get my dime done a few years back. I just paid like $1200 just to have teh grey band on mine redone.
