painting CUCV, how much of what do I need?

[BIGHAMMER]

Just registered, thanks for all the info I have read so far.
Here is my situation. I just got a 85 CUCV through the LESO program, 20,000 miles and all panels are solid.
I have decided to keep it camo and want to freshen up the paint. I talked with our local body shop and he is willing to shoot it for free if we get the paint ( he has done them before).
So..... what exactly do I need to get and from where. I would like to keep it close to original as possible, but I what to keep this project low cost also.
Any information would be greatly appreciated and if you have more question i could answer to with your answer fire away.

I will post some pics as soon as I can so as the project progresses you can follow it.

Thanks
Mike

i used duck boat paint from the hardware store at 15 dollars a gallon. Worked fine and shoots easily. Would and do recommend it to others
