Haven't painted a Jeep(yet), but a couple of years ago I painted both
my wife's motorcyle and mine.
Mine is a big Harley dresser with all the bags and a fairing...12
pieces in all. Painted it black and it took like a 1/4 of the color
and a 1/4 of reducer(plus all the primers, sealers, clear/coat etc).
Cost was about $300 for materials, and that's at jobber prices.
My wife's was just 2 tanks and 2 fenders and took a pint of
color(which was $52 just by itself)and a pint of reducer. It was
painted that '02 Mustang Redfire. I spent almost exactly the same
amount to paint it...about $300.

Yeah, I guess, but I didn't want to mess with that.
Base coat/clear coat is pretty easy to work with and fairly easy to
fix runs in the clear unless you load it up with pearl like I did<g>.
Next time I'm gonna try and flame one of them...those guys on the
chopper shows on TV make it look easy(yeah, right!).
