No specific number as what you are going for is the color to be even all around. Once it is even than a clear coat is applied. If you are asking how much paint it will take to paint a car depends on the cars size. A 70 Chevelle doing a color change without a vinyl top takes right at a gallon

One half a gallon should be enough to paint most any car and probably one gallon of thinner.
