That really depends on what paint you'll buy. Cheaper paints don't cover as well, so you're ending up putting more coats of cheap paint rather than 2-3 coats of expensive paint. Also if you use sealer it will help. Ie if you're painting yellow car, use white sealer, if you're painting blue car use gray sealer.
Are you painting jambs, engine bay?

A gallon will do car that's mx-3 size. You will have 2 gallons sprayable as it's usually 1:1 mix.
