Ok, im going to repaint my car and I need to know what products I need to get. Im using all HOK products. So far I know I need a reducer (there is 4different ones), base coat paint, sealer (dont know which one to get), and the clear. Thats all the products that I know of that I need besides the sand paper. If I need anymore please let me know so I can start throwing some prices together of how much this will cost.
Now here is where my questions come in if someone could point me out to this:
-- Which reducer out of these would I need and how many quarts to get:

-- Which clear should I get and how much of it do I need:

Thats all I know of that I need for the paint part. Now I have a question about the sanding part. Ive heard to just scuff the car with light sanding from others, but what grit sand paper to use? How far down should I sand? Do I really just need to scuff the clear coat then go back and spray the sealer over that?
Im completely new to paint and since my car needs another paint job im going to tackle it myself and see how it comes out. Of course im going to have someone that knows how to paint a vehicle with me but ill be doing most of the work. Any help is appreciated.
Also ill add that I want the car to be a deep shade of blue, almost black looking at times if that makes a difference or not
