how much rust bullet should I order?

Anyone know, or recall how much it should take to coat my f250 4x4 frame? Its standard cab LWB.

I really would like to order some before friday.
Thanks!

I bought one gallon (4 quart cans) and still have one yet to crack open, but I will be opening it to touch up a few spots on my frame that I wasn't as good at painting as I had thought I was. Mind you, I used a brush, so was a little heavy-handed in some places. With the right spray equipment, I am guessing you could cover it easily with 3 quarts.

Sweet, thanks, I think I'll just get the gallon. Then I'll have some for every nook and cranny.

whoooa a gallon for the frame? Is the rust bullet as expensive as the POR-15? I bought a quart of that and I maybe used a quarter of it to do a D60 front. I used it liberally too also brushed it. That stuff goes a long way. I think there is another member on here that did his whole frame with a qt. of POR-15. It's up to you and it's your money but I think a gallon is a little much for the frame.

Well, the gallon won't be used JUST on the frame, I'm talking about, cab floors, bed floor, back side of fenders, leaf springs, and I plan on doing multiple coats in all of those places.

I used POR15 on my frame, radius arms, both axles, differentials, basically everything underneath, and it took all of a quart......

Maybe Por-15 is the way to go.... Really down here I could get away without any coating and it would be fine, but I want it to have that finished look top and bottom.

So I ended up ordering a quart of rust bullet. We'll see. It only takes a day to ship ground from summit to my house.

Only thing to be careful of is: 2 coats (or more) is mandatory, so make sure you get it sealed up without air or it will harden. When I did mine, I looked at each quart as a separate coat. Partial quarts need special care to keep them viable.

Maybe I can make this quart strech enough, I'm going to spray it, just because I got the equipment and it seems like that will let it last longer.
