I planned on Poring my subframe and suspension pieces and was wondering if the 6 20oz can combo would be enough, i've never used this stuff but seems to be a good product.

That much would do about 18 different subframes and suspension pieces. That stuff goes a looooong way.

If everything is going to be the same color, I'd say about 6 of the 4oz. cans is enough. One 20oz. can is enough to do everything.

I used 12oz. (three 4oz. cans) on the subframe alone (two coats), and maybe 2 more on the rest. But I used different colors so I can't really tell you how much I used total.

Like the other posters said, it goes a loooooong way. It has the consistency of 2% milk, but applies beautifully and leaves ZERO brush marks. I have found that the small bottles are more convenient. More often than not, I end up throwing away half of it because if it sits for a while, it cements itself shut and I end up destroying the container getting it open. And yes, I am careful about wiping it well before I'm done. Moral of the story, a few ounces goes WAYYYYYY farther than you would ever imagine. But unless you plan to use a large amount all at once, I find the small bottles are more economical (although more expensive) because I waste less over time.

The rave reviews of the stuff are not B.S. It's great stuff and I cannot believe it isn't carried in every corner hardware store. Tough as nails, paint it and forget it.

Yeah it is great stuff. Like you said i cant believe it isnt carried in every hardware store. If i owned the company i would market the heck out of the stuff, you could use it for so many thinngs.
