I would check with whoever you are getting the paint from some colors cover different with different paint manufacturers but usually a gallon of unreduced based with do a car outside and the jambs. as far as the clear depends on how what you want it look like when its done a gallon + reducers/hardners will usually do a basic paint job if you plan on reclearing and wetsanding flat and such you will probally need 2. sandpaper- alot/ different grits primers again it depends basic a gallon should do you if you plan on blocking and repriming and blocking again go ahead and get 2. paint gets pricey but you will soon find that out with your bill :)
