Ron... the Gallon would be fine for the interior... ( might even get some of
the exterior... more then enough...
As for buying it now?.... ahhh okay... since your saving money doing it
yourself... why not take the price increase and have fresh paint....
I know I know.... but it does go bad... back when I had a paint shop in the
80's.... I had some go bad... haven't painted much until I started racing
.... and I painted my Camaro that was Featured in Hot Rod a few years ago...
oh and Today I just walked in from painting two part Primer on the
Bonneville Berkeley....( just a few panels that we had been working on... )
