Ebay Paint

Will a paint such as this:

http://shop.ebay.com/items/?_nkw=can...aint&_osacat=0

Work well? Or is it a crappy knock off paint?

Also, how much paint does it take to paint a truck?

Thanks,
Sean

Takes about a gallon to paint the outside of a truck(no doorjams, inside bed, under hood.) That is some cheap crap,get what you pay for. Single stage paint sucks unless you plan on getting rid of the truck. Base/clear is so much easier to work w And if you go w a factory color you can match it if something happens, unlike that paint.

I also find Napa has pretty good quality paint. Some of the shops in my area use that as their main product line.
