I think it takes about ten gallons. I recommend using a paint brush as well.

As Hoosier pointed out, they make a kit for that. The large car kit comes with 4 gallons, plus a sprayer and accessories,

Oh well in that case I recommend using a crane and a large above ground pool. Just make sure you close the doors.

And then another after picture when you realize the mistake you've made and pull all the dip off.

Wow, what a bunch of unhelpful and sarcastic replies you got. But in saying that, there are more appropriate places to ask this question ie www.dipyourcar.com

I'm not about to Plasti Dip my car, but it is a very innovative and interesting application of this product. If you do it, I'll be curious to see your results and whether you're happy with it.

But he did get his original question - how many gallons - answered. And pointed to an appropriate site for more info.

Chris - if you're still following this thread, and you go through with dipping, consider making a DIY.
