atbspinner Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Use Duplicolor and apply 3-4 coats. It starts getting pretty thick at that point and will last a long time if you prep the surface first with brake cleaner. Use a better brush than the one that comes withthe kit for a faster application. I've done 2 cars with one can and still have some left. Seems likeit was less than a $15 purchase a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
