Message that much paintable surface area, also your paint will be reduced probably 1.5 to 1.0, for example 2 quarts of paint, once reduced will yeild 3 qts of sprayable material. I have painted the entire Z with 2 coats of base color AH3, Cherry Red Pearl using only 3 qts of sprayble material. You may however, want to invest in at least a gallon of clear coat (much cheaper than paint) and give the car 5 or 6 coats to protect the base coat. Just my opinion, but good paint = expensive. Also, after painting the car, save a little of the reduced paint, add a little clear coat, and put it in a baby food jar or something similar to use for touch ups later when you get rock chips. Good Luck.
