Just had my 'bird done, PPG, took 1.5 gal of base, and 1 gal of clear. The base has a heavy amount of mica though, so it takes more than a typical amount.
Because of the 'size' of the mica/flake, you can't thin it out too much, or the mica/flake won't 'stand up' as desired.
Painter did 6 coats of base, and 8 coats of clear (as I recall). Clear he built up intentionally to get more cut & polish out of it (and depth).
