I bought the 6-pack of 4 oz cans from
Amazon. I opted for the smaller cans, so I didn't have to worry about not properly sealing a larger can. Two 4 oz cans were plenty to coat my RSG sliders with two generous coats. I used Herculiner along the top of the sliders and tread plate. I used disposable foam brushes from Home Depot to apply the coatings. Whatever you use to apply the POR15, plan on throwing it away afterward. For prep, I washed the sliders with blue Dawn dish soap, let them dry, scuffed the dry metal with a green Scotch-Brite pad, and then washed them again with Dawn.
I mostly use my 4R for family/daily duty, but I drive dirt/gravel roads weekly, and the coatings have held up great. They're pretty dirty in the pic below, but you get the idea.
