I got a whole dissertation on truck paint vs auto paint. Best I can come up with is how many time you have to coat it. ie: three coats of auto paint or two heavy coats of truck paint. Anyhow, it was BASF Limco single stage urethane (auto paint) and yes I would use it again. It took 4 gallons to paint my fl60 and 24' box, but the steps, bumper and back door are black and gray. I would look at 5 gallons if you want to do the whole thing one color. I was told that "truck paint" could do it in three. Of course, I was told a lot of things
