You will also need to buy a gallon of reducer, and a gallon of matching clear coat. It's been quite a while nice I last bought paint but $200 would buy you top quality paint back then. $600 seem extremely high.
Brutal is correct, if you are changing the color of the car you will significantly reduce the value of the car. I would reconsider the wrap.
Good luck.

First off thanks for the reply.
I do plan on having EVERYTHING repainted. The paint on these cars is horrible and I'm already seeing defects after 7k miles and would rather not take the time to take it into the dealership for paint problems again. I also want something unique. I will be providing the paint and clear for the shop. As for the price, this paint is very expensive, and as most of us also know corvettes are produced in an entirely different plant and their paint is well above that of the camaro in quality. So its a good choice all around for me. ( more durable paint, better looking). Again, talking about the resale value....its not important to me, I plan on never giving up this car
