It depends on the percent of solids.
To simplify this, after all the liquid (solvent) part has evaporated, the pigment (solids) is what remains.
One gallon of paint having 100% pigment (solids) or no solvent in it, will cover 1600 square feet at 1 mil thickness.
If one gallon of paint has 50% pigment (solids) and 50% liquid (solvent), then one gallon of paint would have a net or dry film of 800 square feet.
