I would like to say (1) qt, but that is a guess. I do know from just using there starter kit, that this product goes a long way.

Re: Underbody question

One quart will just barely cover the entire underbody. If you want to do anything else like the gas tank or rear axle while its out, get a little more.

Re: Underbody question

I bought 2 quarts of the stuff, 1 quart of metal ready and 1 quart of marine clean, along with tons of brushes, gloves, etc.. This guy is a distributor of POR-15 who recommended this, but on the bright side if you only use 1 quart, you'll have another quart to paint gas tank, inside of car underneath carpet, rear end, and other rusted suspension parts.

Re: Underbody question

thanks guys for the input. I was also gonna paint other parts such as the gas tank and other parts such as the control arms and other suspension parts. Glad I did not order just the starter kit yet. Thanks
