Based on the vagueness of the question and your punctuation skills, I would get several estimates and have someone else review it for you.
Jeeze! I honestly don't mean to flame you, but for god's sake, can anyone communicate properly anymore?

Well, to be fair...If he is indeed posting from Italy, maybe English isn't his primary language.
Regarding the OP, it sounds like you first need to find a shop you trust. Don't bother trying to calculate paint quantities and costs because that's only .003% of the effort of getting your car repainted.
What color do you want your car to be?

Modern paints are different -- usually a base coat, metallic primary, and finish clearcoat -- but you're only talking about the primary as the custom hue. If it's all one color, then, two gallons will give you an ample safety margin.
OTOH, if you're going to the trouble of doing a custom job it's ridiculous to keep the car monotone.
Suggest you watch a few episodes of "Pimp Mah Ride" while you practice you remedjal Engrish, yah?
