Default Painting my wagon myself..

Has anyone done a full paint job on their 850 estate? What should I not cheap out on and how many gallons of paint did you use? (pre thinned or not?) I've got a weekend set up for this, may end up needing more time but I don't want to get useless stuff, like body filler? what tape and paper did you use? good primers top coats ect.

I've sold out on SPI southern polyurethane primers and clear. I don't pay much attention to filler, I just buy whatever is on the shelf. I can't say that's a good idea. SPI doesn't really make colors, just a handful, so you would probably have to go elsewhere for your color.
