it really depends on what system of paint your using, but in most cases a gallon of paint should be more than enough.
are you painting a basecoat clearcoat system, or a single stage system?

yes, the wifeys car was painted with sherwin williams ultra 7000 basecoat/clearcoat system, the color is royal sapphire pearl (toyota 8L5) with some extras added by me.
yes, you need to let the DMV know when you change colors.
jenn got pulled over one morning before we did, and the cop gave her tons of crap about it.
