    You get 6-10 hours per gallon depending on the ambient temp and humidity. You can mix it in smaller volumes just using the same volumetric ratio of catalyst and tintable liner, but frankly I would do a gallon at a time to make sure it's as consistent as possible. Ie that the panels all come out the same tint. If you're going to do the door jambs, I would recruit a friend to help paint since it takes a long time and for a good quality job the jambs need attention.

    Thanks- I love the paneling and interior- along with the sun roof it seems to be one of the more unique aspects of the truck. I plastidipped the mirrors since I hate chrome- not sure I'd like the look of bedlined mirrors with the way they articulate on the truck.

    Hey OP, if you’re still around. About to paint my truck and I live in a rainy area too. Did the paint hold up well?

    Just wondering in case it rains a bit while the truck dries. Saw the truck looked wet in one of your pics
