how about this question:

no, the 18oz (or the 24 oz available from select products) are necessary for the initial lay up of the fabric because of their relative thickness so you dont soak them all the way through to the glued side. figure out the dimesions of the area you want to work on, just pretend they are flat and figure out the square footage from there. obviously multiply that by 8 and youll have your answer, i always add about 10 to 15 percent extra just to be safe and to make up for unmeasurable round corners and such. theres a link in that post where you can get matting, tools, and cloth online very inexpensively also.

so when you do this, the resin isnt actually supposed to soak through the first layer???

From what I've read, the resin should soak into the first layer of mat. Just be sure you've got something like masking tape and aluminum foil behind the place where you're going to be laying down the mat. Also, if you wax up the area where the mat will be placed beforehand, the fiberglass mold will come out of the car easier once it's dry.
