I used less than a quart of rustolem glossy white paint.

Did you spray, roll, or brush? What would you recommend?

Thanks

I think I went through 4 cans of Rustoleum sealer, and 4 cans of Rustoleum top coat paint.

Can't remember for sure, but I think abuot 4 cans of spray. It doesn't take much.

I used a brush.

I went through less than a quart of Rustoleum as well. I used a foam brush to apply it. Used Rustoleum primer as well(again less than a quart).

Thanks Guys. I picked up a quart of gray primer today. I didn't buy the paint because I'm not set on the color yet. If the primer looks ok, I'll probably leave it for a while.

3/4 gallon of herculiner ~ 2 coats.

I just did a 24ft enclosed trailer.
• 2 gallons of primer.
• 3 gallons of ready to spray custom Hex paint.
• 2 gallons of Clear Coat.

Since it’s 24’ just do the math and subtract! But it’s always good to have extra in case you come back In the future and do small touch ups or even re-do and entire Aluminum sheet panel.
