Well, it all depends on Pianter. Depend on quality of tools they will use on painting, depends on the color, base color and ETC. As for example - full repaint on Edo's car requered about 3 kilos of paint and about 1 kg of base paint (1 kg of paint is almost equal to one liter some times.)
Sometimes you wount need lots of paint cuz i your car will be prepared well, the base primes layed, base coat of paint layed, so the top coat will be only th epaint, and you wount need lots of it.. As i said - it all depends on the color / painters / preparation. Here in lithuania - full repaint including paint, preparation and etc cost about 1000 - 1200 Euros... consider this Popstar  Cuz you can see - the Example Edo's car, full repaint (color change) with full preparation of dings and etc costed 1000 euros, including all jobs and paint it self...-------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
