Nightvision,<br />A gallon will be plenty. I did the inside of my 19'boat with a gallon last spring. Make sure you read the directions and prep it then wash down with xylene. <br />I had a pint or so left when I was done with mine. I put the first coat on regular and the second pretty thick. I think you can't go wrong with this stuff!

Length x Width = sq ft (13' x 5' = 65 sq ft). Measure each section you are painting for exact total.
