My suggestion would be to start with 3-4 Prevals and the best primer you can get. When you've got it all primered well, you can detail & paint from there, but you will have some idea how many more Prevals you'll need.

You'd be better still to get a detail gun (8 ounce cup) instead of a case of Prevals. Then borrow or Craigs List a compressor. Use quality auto paint and you WILL get good results.

Maybe you'll find this inspiring....
