personally, i used 3 coats of primer, sanded with 1000 grit before adding each coat, i used 3 coats of color, and i used 2 coats of clear, thats only on the plastic pieces., on the vinly pieces, i took a can of my spray i was using to a upholsty shop and they mixed me a 1/2 a gallon of vinyl dye to color match the paint on the pastic piecesrule number one when painting interior....never spary anything that has a flexible material or else it will just chip off, you will ahve to dye those pieces like i did, here is a pic of mine, im still only half done
