Bruce, If you're gonna do both sets of springs at the same time, a gallon would be good. A qt if one at a time. I disagree with the idea that paint on the contact area of the leaves is a good idea. I never saw paint of any kind that would tolerate sliding leaves against each other. Separate your leaves, use a dremel to remove the burrs at the ends of spring travel, clean them up and paint the edges only. Slather them up with Slip Plate and assemble. Forget about the zerk as it was never more than a sales gimmick anyway.
