Never tried them, but have considered it. You won't need a whole gallon. 2 qts might be enough, I think I used 2.5 qts the last time I painted a FB...

Yea 2 qts should be enough given you use all of it correctly, if you think you're going to have some "learning curve" you might want to get some more, I ended up using over a gallon on the first FB I painted b/c of waste and trying to figure it all out (it was also two tone, so that is part of it) If you're having it professionally done then 2 qts should be plenty if they know what they are doing.
