If you look down the page just a bit there is a pic of a WD I did with OMNI under a post about gloss. The tractor was partialy dissasembled. The frame rails were off and a couple coats went on the back of them plus the sides of the castings they cover. Then they were installed and the the powertrain got pretty much got three coats, its hard for me to keep track when squirting paint under, over and around all those parts. Sheet metal, fuel tank and wheels were done afterwards with three coats. With OMNI MTK and my Astro HVLP the whole job took just two quarts. A splash job over an assembled tractor would take less. Technique and equipment means a lot, I'd buy a gallon and have plenty in case of a screw up or matching paint for a implement or touch ups.
