The nearest home depot to me is over an hour away
. Lowes is about 20 minutes away. But their prices are insane for the paint...especially exterior. For a quart of their cheapest is I think 10 bucks. For a gallon of the same stuff is like 30.

Last I looked there they only had quarts and it was just interior and they still wanted too much money for it.
You'd need more than 24 hours... very low VOC but it has to dry enough so it's not too tacky, then you'd need to apply a 2nd coat. They have 1 gallon cans which would be enough for a small coop - for my 60 sq ft I used a little less than a 5 gallon can.
Why so much for a 60 sq ft coop? Did you go up the entire wall too?
You use up a bit doing 2 coats (it's much thicker than ordinary paint) plus it's recommended to go about a foot up the walls to maximize waterproofing where you'd need it most (as I have Tyvek on the walls so I only painted up on the studs). I also used it on the bottom of my nest box (so you can't see the legs at all as they blend into the floor) and roost supports.
It makes sense now that you mention it's thicker than typical paint.
Yeah it's not thick as tar, but definitely thicker than paint, which is why stirring it is the most difficult part (blackdog043 suggests turning the can upside down before first use, which is what I did as well). I used a masonry brush to apply it. First coat will look patchy but after you apply the second one it will fill in really well.
I like that idea. Is it like a rubberized coat almost like stall mats? Or hard like a spray in truck bed liner
It's rubberized in that it has some texture/grip to it, but does not provide any additional cushioning like an actual coat of rubber would, so the finished surface is harder like the bed liner.
