Doesn't sound too complicated . You estimate 2 gallons for a C15 two coat all over repaint ? Maybe 3 to be safe ? How much did you use on your CMP ? Did you paint your cab interior the same shade ??? Your thoughts ?

Cheers , Johnnie .
I used 1 1/2 gallons for one coat over a coat of primer. I guess you could probably make it go further, depending on how fast you move the sprayer. Haven't painted the inside of the cab yet as it hasn't been restored yet, and it's in a passable green. It's not O.D., but more like a forest green. I don't know if it's original or not, but it'll do until I get all the bits and pieces to finish the cab.


CHIMO!
