Rapco and Army Jeep Parts in PA are the only two places to get the Gillespie paint. As said above. Good stuff, easy to apply and pretty darn tough.

That depends on how much you are going to paint. You pulling the cab/bed/front end to paint every single part inside and out? 4 gallons.

Just pulling the bed and painting everything else on the truck? 3 gallons. I wouldn't get less than 3 though even if the bed is staying on.

Here is the kicker. You have to pay a HAZMAT fee to get the paint shipped. The fee is the same for 1-4 gallons. You might as well get 4 since the box will hold it and you are paying for the shipping of 4 anyway.

Barrman is right about the Hazmat fee but you can get a pallet load for one hazmat fee! So if you have any other MV owners around you can order a large load on one hazmat fee and have it shipped by truck at a reduced rate per gallon and split the stuff. Rapco will let you mix colors and order both rattle cans and full gallon cans in a single order.
