I had Touché spray painted with Awlcraft 2000 2 years ago. I think the painter just ordered 1 gallon. He did have to spray 3 coats of high build primer.
I sanded the sides with a Hutchins sander prior to the primer. Highly recommend this step. Took out all blemishes and post cure shrinkage pattern in the top sides. Top sides are very smooth with no roving pattern, blemishes, dings, etc. Dennis C.
