I believe I purchased 3 quarts (kits) but used a little over 2. I applied it (in my spray booth

)with a small foam tru line roller and tipped or smoothed with a foam brush. The paint is thick and I did not thin it. You can wet sand it or buff it to create the slick teflon finish but I passed...its the bottom. Like I said it still looks good but it hasnt been long. Interlux said I could always hit with 80 grit and apply antifouling if need be. I went with this paint becasue the boat does spend time on a mooring when I need it to. Interlux told me 2 part poly paints would not do well if left in the water for a week. Then again they sell this paint too
