She needs an additional 78 - 58 = <<78-58=20>>20 of a gallon of blue paint.
Simplified, this is 20/1 = 20. Answer: \boxed{20}.
To find out how much more blue paint Juanita needs, subtract the amount she already has (58 of a gallon) from the amount she needs (78 of a gallon):
78 - 58 = 20
Therefore, Juanita needs 20 of a gallon more blue paint.
