about how much will I need to do the floor pan in my 68?
And do any of the board vendors carry it?

you'll have alot leftover if you buy a quart

[76bonanza]

What about a pint? I was also thinking about getting that six pack how long will it keep unopened?

you will have alot left over if your just doing your floor. it dries up fast so once you open it you should paint as much as you can with out wasing it.
i ordered 2 quarts for my frame and 1 quart covered it easly and we put 2 coats on it. the other quart my grandpaw used to put on his boat trailer.
it works good but dries fast if its left open

I'm sure how long it will keep, but the 6 pack is the way IMO. It doesn't force you to use it all up at one time.

Definitely swear by the stuff, and get the little cans fer sure. You can save what's left in a little can by using a plastic baggie in between the can and the lid, that way the stuff never makes contact with itself. Make sure you have the baggie just laying flat so there are two layers in between, that gives it a plece to separate from. Wouldn't chance it with a quart, that suff is expensive!

It's some weird, wild stuff. I recommend using a plastic paint container, because it doesn't stick to plastic. Any leftover paint will peel off after it dries. I used a couple of small measuring cups and dipped them into the can to avoid the mess from pouring (don't pour the POR - hah!). You still need to seal up the can right away with a plastic barrier (I used plastic wrap). You can even set painted parts on a plastic tarp and pick them right back up when they're dry. Don't try this on concrete - I know a guy who pulled up a chunk of his garage floor while trying to un-stick a used paint brush from it. I used disposable paint brushes and did all my painting over plastic. I've probably opened and closed the can 10-15 times and it still seems OK, although it doesn't spread as evenly as it once did. Didn't help that I was storing it in a humid garage in the summer (moisture makes it dry faster)... I also recommend using their metal-prep and/or scuffing any smooth surfaces. It's actually peeling off my radiator support because I didn't.

It's almost a mis-nomer to call it "paint." I think it's alien technology from Area 51.

I used the 6 pack and had 3 cans left over after doing the complete floor area. I did two coats and it turned out great! hard as nails and like other's have said the 6 pack gives you great flexibility and left overs for other projects.
