Like doing it your self? with a rattle can?

That's how i did mine, trim all black and bottom half from gray to a dark silver.

I think i used about four cans each of primer(don't remember which kind), colour, and clear coat.

One quart. For BC/CC the paint is about $80/qt and then you will need the clear on top of that. Some paint stores only sell the clear in gallons but it is cheaper than paint. For single stage paint,which would work just as well will run you approx. $65 for DuPont Centari.
