Really depends
Really it’s a loaded question.

What condition is your current paint and clear coat?

How even is it? Faded? Cracks?

Where will you paint it? Are you going to get a mobile paint tent, use your garage, or on the street?

Will you be using a rattle can? Air brush?

Are you paint painting a section? Or the who car?

If partial, how faded is the paint? And have you considered just doing paint correction instead?

Whites are harder to match than black. Paints can be blended.

Your vehicle has paint codes which will get you close.

Personally, I’ve never done a whole car, but I have used custom rattle cans to do a hood, fenders, rockers, and trunks… each on different cars.

If you are willing to put in the work, a Scott Brite pad, different sandpaper grits, dust cloths, tape & paper, and some elbow grease can get a very basis paint job that will look good from 20 ft away.
