Default How much paint to repaint your whole car?

I've searched this, and every result was for either a lip/bumper, or side skirts/bumper/hood, etc etc...

I'm just curious, if I took my car to a hookup and supplied the paint myself, how much of it would I actually have to supply? I've heard a gallon is more than enough to paint an Integra, anyone have a rough guesstimate?

It would be the Bronze Metallic paint used on BMW Z4's.

Just a typical Basecoat with Clearcoat.

1 gallon of base and 1 gallon of clear.

I read your title I guess that's what you're looking for. I just sprayed a hood and bumper VSM and used less than a pint of paint with 3 coats base and 3 coats clear. Came out cherry.
