Glossary
- Coats
- The number of layers of paint applied to a surface. Typically, two coats are recommended for good coverage and color depth.
- Coverage
- The area that can be covered by a certain amount of paint, usually specified on the paint can (e.g., in sq ft per gallon or m² per liter).
- Surface Condition
- The state of the wall before painting. Porous or textured surfaces absorb more paint, reducing its coverage, while primed or previously painted surfaces require less paint.
This calculator provides an estimate. Actual paint required may vary based on application method, surface porosity, and specific paint properties. It's recommended to buy slightly more than the estimated amount.
