With reducer 3 quarts is a safe bet and can stretch it out to 1.5 gallons. You may be able to get by with 2 quarts. 3 quarts for clear but get a gallon and put a few extra coats on, if only on the high wear areas like the front of the car.

Re: how much paint to spray eg hatch? (JDMeg95)
what kind of paint are you using? For example ppg clear is a bit thicker than dupont when reduced properly. I spray ppg in my shop and it usually takes about a gallon of base and a gallon of clear depending on how deep you want the finish to look. I would do a gallon of each to be safe
