Suitable for medium-sized projects or for testing colors.
Quart (1 liter / 32 oz)
Common for larger DIY projects and smaller professional jobs.
Half Gallon (2 liters / 64 oz)
Less common but available for projects that require more paint than a quart but less than a gallon.
Gallon (3.78 liters / 128 oz)
