How many square ft?

Just got an account and am wanting to monstaliner my whole truck including the inside of my bed and don't know how to get the footage for the amount I need. I've looked around and noticed I some of the fresh painted first gens and maybe if anybody remembers an estimate of how many feet it was. Mine is a long box. If anybody knows that woulda be great
Thanks

Do you have a measuring tape? Square feet = length times width. Just the floor of the bed is something in the range of 7x5 (35).

I'm thinking probably 5, maybe 6, minimum 4 gallons. Depending on how many coats you want to put on where.

I'm cheap. So I'd probably see how far I could get with 4. Then order more if needed.

Thanks Scuba and MudHippy, maybe once it quits snowing out I'll go outside and measure it. It says you can do a whole 6ft with 2 coats and have extra with one gallon. I'm wanting to do at least 2 coats on everything and if there's extra I wanna do the interior too. I tried emailing them but never got any replies. Do you think spraying it would save any or aye more?

I used about a gallon & 1/2, 3 consecutive coats (but I didn't do inside the bed). A good prep is the key to making it last
