Is two quarts of paint enough to put a nice paint job on a wd?

One gallon of paint and 3 qts. thinner....you should have some left over, but the cost of a gallon is about the same as 3 qts. .....

i normally buy a gallon since it is cheaper and have about a quart left. I use PPG automotive paint. Last forever, but the price is 3-4 times higher than farm store paint.

i work in a body shop and if u use the right sealer (primer) ur farm store paint will last forever also at a fraction of ppg cost and if the paint does go bad its only 22 a gal so paint er again plus by the time ur farm store paint goes bad ur tractor is gonna look ratty and u might wanna repaint it again

I used a gallion of paint on my WC Speed Patrol and almost didn't have enough to do the whole job. Plus buying a gallion is cheaper in the long run then buying it by the QT. Picture of the speed patrol in in the web site
