I was able to get 2 coats from the rub rail to the water line with one quart, the paint was thinned at 10%. I sanded in between coats and was happier with the results after 4 coats (2 quarts) I sanded to 320 before the final coat. I also thinned the paint at 15% on the last 2 coats. I would recommend 2 quarts for what I'm describing (between the rub rail & water line) all roll & tip.
Order your hull paint ,try it out and learn from there.
good luck, Bill
