I'm not exactly sure of the measurements of my dump bed, but you can get an idea of it's size from the attached picture. I went up about halfway on the sides and worked my way back to where my ladder was. I have about a quarter gallon left over and I put it on pretty thick. I didn't know how much I would need, or I would have gone all the way up the sides. Of course, it doesn't really stick on the sides, so I guess it doesn't really matter. My problems started in the corners and then worked it's way out to the middle.

For prep, I hosed and scrubed the bed clean. No soap or chemicals, though I'm not sure if that's an issue or not. I didn't use any, so I don't know if you can or shouldn't. I let it dry out, then just painted it on over the rust and the metal.

It was a simple process, but the paint is very sticky and does a spiderweb type thing. It will get all over you and be very, very dificult to get off.

I just dumped some out onto my bed and used a half sized paint roller to spread it out. Then I through the roller away when I was done.
