Yikes 250 bones per gallon! A gallon probably weighs more than even most of our OT framesets. I assume you could paint a good number of framesets with a gallon- assuming they all needed to be exactly the same color. I hope they sell smaller quantities. If not what do frame painters do with all the unused portions that must accrete on their shelves? How much liquid paint is needed to cover a typical frame and much does that paint/primer end up adding to the bare frame weight?
