4 DR200's + 2 T48's cost me 7-8 litres. Both double coated Warnex (=European equivalent of Duratex) (1 basic layer + 1 textured layer). Hope this helps...
BF cabs built to date:
2x T48 21" 3015LF; 1x T48 24" 2xBP102; 1x DR250 2510 loaded, cross firing; 4x DR200 Beta 8, melded array; 1x TT HL-10c; 2x WH Beta 8, melded 'array'; 3x AT 15" Tang Band W8-740P; 1x AT 15" JBL GTO1014

8 gal.

Rolling with a base + texture coat I can cover 4 DR200's with a gallon (with a little left over), and about 4 T39S with the same amount (without a little left over).

10 T39S + 10 DR200 + 1 T48

Gotcha.

So basically I can figure about a quarter of a gallon per cabinet. Thanks!
