Which clear for a beginner

I'm looking to shoot my first overall paint job on a 77 Chevrolet k20 pickup in my garage. It's not a daily driver but not a total resto. I've done my best to make it look straight with all spi epoxy and (panel straightening compound) lol . With limited skills ,i don't expect a mirror finish like the folks on here, but i was wondering which spi clear would be the most rookie friendly? I'm probably dreamin but I would like to do three coats and call it good, how many gallons would I need to do all the outside (long bed) and door jambs minus inside the bed?
 
First I'm going to assume being your first home job you may be lacking on your air supply.
So my suggestion is go with the 5000 clear as when you get ready to spray that clear you and i can adjust reduction to fit your air system and your gun a whole lot easier than a clear that does not use a reducer.
 
Ok, I can maintain 125psi at the wall with my two stage compressor to feed my iwata ls400 (1.4) thanks Barry!
