How much paint is normally needed for one coat of ablative that will be applied over the same type paint?
Thanks,

1/2 a gallon I'd say. May vary depending on your paint though.

Chris B,
Thanks very much for your response. I think I have enough for one coat. I may have to thin it a little. How much would you recommend for a half gallon?
Thanks,
Tom
