to all those with DIY "How To Paint Trim Pieces"

I was wondering how many cans of paint were required to do all of the trim pieces, the dash part around the factory head unit, the vents, the window controls on the door and any other pieces that you painted....Also can spray paint be shipped? I live in Saskatchewan and we don't have a Pep-Boys so I cannot find any Plasti-Kote paint, so if I payed someone could they ship it to me? Thanks.

I painted all the stuff you've mentioned with 1 can of paint. Don't forget to buy primer and clearcoat, and some sand paper to rough up the surfaces. Some don't think these steps are neccesary, but you've pulled the sh$t out, might as well take your time!
