are you gonna do this yourself? Do you want to know how much to paint it also?

You could go with an acrylic enamel paint. They'll last that length of time, probably longer. There's no clear coat to buy, I believe it's built into the paint. To paint my car (at wholesale cost through my old school) with enamel, the activator, etc, the price was around 225 dollars. Are you painting the car yourself?

I did my car with a base coat/clear coat, and primer sealer/surfacer. I spent almost $300 on primer (partially because I wasn't happy with the final coat, so i redid it). My paint and clear cost like $250 or something, so about $550 on just the chemicals. All the sandpaper and other supplies were probably another $100.
