It's just a guess. It doesn't require a lot. You can always add more but can't take any away. I added about 1/2 cup of a rattle can cap.

Yes. A lot comes down to user preference. Add a bit and try it. You can always thin it out a bit more on the second coat if you choose.

I can dig some up but roller and technique also come into play. I could take the exact same consistency product and end up with two entirely different results based on which roller I used and what technique I used to apply it.

Bass addict is spot on. You can get different finishes depending on how you roll it out. I used the application roller that was recommended when I bought the druatex. At first glance it would appear it would give a super rough texture, but the more you roll it the smoother it gets. I would start by just using it without water on a couple of pieces of scrap wood and play around with it. Here is a finish with no water and the texture roller:
I used a smooth roller and this is the result I got:
This is similar to the roller I used:

Here's one I did with a 1/2" nap for a more aggressive finish.

This one is mine with 2 coats and the roller that Acrytech sells. It looks rough but it really isn't. You can run a tissue through it and it doesn't get snagged at all.

For $13 per cab, flat black + Truck liner black by Rustoleum does the job too. For me, my cabs are out of sight so fast and easy was the way I went. If your cabs are out in open and are in kicking distance.....Duratex is the way to go.
I wanted a fine, flat black finish......well, I got it.
