It should take 2 quarts, when you mix the reducer in with it you will end up with about a gallon. You may want to buy 3 to be on the safe side.

Unless this guy that is going to paint your car for $500.00 is a good friend, he's going to do a hack job!!! If he acually has the experiance to paint a complete car,especially in kameleon, he knows how much time that he's going to have in the car prep time, sanding time, time to take off all the moldings, handles, mirrors, lights. If he is putting on the body kit (properly) he will have to put it on and take it off 2-3 times just to make sure that it fits right-prior to painting or he will scratch the piss out of it. All body kits that I have ever seen come in very ruff shape, they need to be primered and sanded and least once. It takes ruffly 3-4 pints to paint a whole car and that paint alone should cost $300.00 a pint. If you are going to the trouble to spend the money on this complete paint job-- HAVE IT DONE RIGHT-- or you will regret it when it gets done and there is over spary on everything, your handles are painted shut, a run the size of niagra falls running down your quarter panel, and when you got to wash your car at the local car wash and leave half for your super cheap paint job on the floor. Cheap is not the way trust me...

yeah kameleon paint job are not for novice painters. even i cant spray a complete kameleon and i worked at a custom motorcycle paint shop for 2 years. and yes i would not pay a guy just $500 for labor that is cheap. even i charge just $400just to spray the car. only spraying maybe help in taping up the car but thats it. and it takes at least 5-6 coats for a even job. and the price you paid for the kameleon thats dirt cheap. better check it might be somethig wrong with it. because even the paint distributer doesnt get it for that cheap

yeah, the dude spent like $5000 on the paint job, it looked pretty cool, but too many colors. I would just want 2 color kam paint if i were to get it, which im not cause im broke and i would spend the money on engine parts first....

singlecamhonduhkilla, lay off the caps, it give me headachs reading it....:D

I think the blue/purple kind looks really good. But i have seen a couple cars with the metallic orange/ rainbow crap, some idiot ruined his mkIV supra with that horrible looking paint.

not to mention that paint only lasts a couple of years then it's shot. why don't you get a nice pearl/mettallic coat instead?i wish i was rich to get a pearl white coat. oh well. don't need it! (thinks: engine/parts v.s. paint job....no contest! :D)
