How much paint and glue is needed to complete this model?

How much do you have? Ok, I'm kidding. I painted the body with a can of spray paint from Auto Zone. They have these smallish cans there that are supposed to be for spot repairs on real cars. I found a nice metallic blue that looked gorgeous. One can will paint 4 to 5 model cars. For the frame (VW guys call it the "pan") I bought a large can of flat black Rustoleum from Home Depot and it will paint a dozen or so chassis. For the interior and all the engine details I bought a Testors Promotional Enamel Paint Set. That gave me plenty of different colors from which to choose. As for glue, I bought one small container of Zap-a-Gap at a local hobby store. This is a Cyano-acrylate that you can use for almost everything on the model EXCEPT you must NOT use on windows. For that, I use Elmers White glue. Find a YouTube video on how to glue in model car windows with white glue. The little bottle of Zap-a-Gap (or equivalent) super glue will do dozens and dozens of models. If you are buying this for a gift, you could spend a few coins getting set up but, in the end, it all comes back in hobby enjoyment.

Do the doors and the front hood open?

No, only the rear door can be mounted on open position.
