Check out www.tcpglobal.com For something like the Celica you should only need a gallon of paint and then a gallon of thinner for a total of two gallons of sprayable paint. You'll need things like masking tape and plastic sheeting. Doing a pearl you'll need clear as well, a sprayable gallon should be enough. Maybe a gallon of sprayable primer as well. If there are any dings and etc... you'll need some body filler along with lower grits like 200, 300, and 400 to smooth it out. If you're just needing to knock sheen off paint to lay primer 800 is what you'll need, if you're wanting to wetsand and polish the paint you'll need higher grits starting at 2,000 and working your way up until you get into buffing and polishing compounds. Then once the paint has fully cured you'll want to do your polishing and waxing.

Silly question but have you ever sprayed a car before, or anything like it? If not I highly suggest having someone else do the actual painting since you're wanting to do a pearl paint. You could get it to the point it's in primer, but laying pearl or metallic paints you really need to know what you are doing.
