Isnt lollipop blue a candy? If so then you have to coat your frame with a base color, like silver or gold, then apply the candy blue. The metallic from the base color will show thru, if you choose a metallic.

For the atv frame i would have at least a 1/2 pound.It's always nice to have a little extra laying around.It also depends on the size of the frame.
For the brake calipers no just hi temp. powders are not nessary.
